At a glance: important features:

• The UCS management system can be used as a single point of administration for users, computers, networks, virtualized systems and many other aspects of IT infrastructure.
• As a flexible user interface for daily work, a modern web application, “Univention Management Console” (UMC) is provided for self-explanatory and efficient work.
• The UCS management system also supports demanding environments with multiple servers and locations and the relevant security requirements there such as selective replication.
• Thanks to the comprehensive support of open interfaces and connectors, UCS can be easily integrated in existing environments and as a management platform for a variety of applications. The UCS management system offers many Microsoft Active Directory functions and thus represents a cost-effective and flexible alternative for the management of clients based on Microsoft Windows XP or Windows 7.

The UCS management system includes a flexible, centrally manageable identity management system. With this central system, users benefit among other things from a single login independently of which services or systems they use. Permissions are defined by role concepts or group memberships.

Even demanding requirements such as the selective replication of only certain user accounts, e.g., at external locations, the integration of cloud-based applications, the setting of high value reports or the connection of customer-specific databases can be realised simply with the UCS identity management system.

The UCS management system contains comprehensive functions for the management of networks and computers as well as the corresponding services. The system allows not only for the simple, central administration of all servers, desktops, notebooks or applications, but also offers extensive possibilities for the delegation of responsibilities and tasks and for the audit-compliant documentation of changes.
