FileWave Foundry

The first port of call is the Client view.  This lists all of your devices, provides live reporting of their current status and allows grouping of devices for simplified management.

One of the key aspects of any management is the delivery of files, installation of software, configuration, etc.  Filesets are containers of one or more of each of these and when associated will be installed, either automatically or by the user

We have Clients, we have Filesets, now we need to link the two.  Welcome to Associations and Deployments

Computer Filesets can be large and plentiful.  Thankfully, Boosters are here to aid deployment and make the process all that much better.

Be it new purchases of Windows devices or a requirement to refresh devices, our imaging setup is a fast, granular solution to a common task, with smart grouping of the Windows OS with driver packs. 

Apple's Classroom solution is a common choice in not only education, but businesses too.  FileWave integrates with both ASM and ABM to have devices pre-prepared or even controllable by the teacher.

Conforming to licence requirements, be that software, plugins, fonts, etc. is an important aspect.  FileWave's Licence Management offering keeps you abreast and reports where desired.

FileWave already recalls hundreds of inventory data records, but maybe you want more.  Custom Fields extends these offerings for all device types either from scripting on computer devices or defining entries for any type of device.

From the many data points collected, along with self built Custom Fields, Inventory Queries empower you to generate reports or Smart Groups across you fleet of devices.

In this Introductory Series on FileWave, we'll look at all of the features the FileWave product provides.  We'll review terminology, discuss capabilities, and generally review why FileWave is such an excellent solution!

FileWave 14.7+ brings TeamViewer integration for remote management of all device types; replacing the previously built-in option which only managed computers.

The FileWave Computer Management 201 level course is a course for system administrators who manage Mac and PC devices on a daily basis.  We'll look at all things computer in this course, from deploying clients to gathering inventory, and from license management to fileset deployment.  You won't want to miss it!

This 201 level course has been developed to support system administrators who are responsible for imaging Mac and Windows devices in their environments.  We'll discuss all of the different imaging options, best practices, and give plenty of good, practical examples.

The 201 level MDM is the course where you will find all information on managing a mobile device estate.  We'll be looking at app licensing & distribution, configuration profile creation & deployment, as well as integrating with the various Apple and Google framework programs. 

This course is tailored specifically for environments that are only using FileWave to manage Android devices through the Google Android EMM API.

This particular course is something of a catch-all for items that are perhaps related to, but not directly about FileWave.  You'll also find items here that just plain don't fit anywhere else.

In this highly detailed course, we'll be looking at topics beyond what a typical systems administrator might normally handle.  This class is targeted towards engineers who will be implementing, architecting, and supporting FileWave customers on a day to day basis.

Over the summer of 2022, there were a series of webinars given about the WebAdmin interface of FileWave. 

This is the material for the US Training Day from October 2022.

This is the material for the EMEA Training Day from September 2022.

For all of those who were brave enough to engage with FileWave for the full 3 days of the 2018 Alliance Conference!
