Ideally, you would populate your network with various machines from the same line. In doing so, you could meet the needs of several different types of users yet make your network much easier to manage. Naturally, you could use the same DMI tool to oversee your entire fleet of PCs, but you could also simplify the deployment and upkeep of those systems. Within managed PC families, most of the machines use the same graphics engines and disk drives.
Some manufacturers use the same motherboards from model to model.
With a few exceptions, machines in these families are also remarkably easy to upgrade and repair. Others let you add and remove disk drives or PCI cards without tools. This means that when an upgrade or repair is necessary, a service technician can get in and out a lot faster. All of which means the managed PC is not only easier to use, but it is also less expensive, at least in the long run. Find out how.
