At the high level, these are the bundles/solutions available:

Lifecycle (IT Ops is the target audience)

  • Patch Management
  • Asset Discovery
  • Software Distribution
  • Remote Control
  • OS Deployment
  • Power Management
  • Server Automation

Compliance (IT Security is the target audience)

  • Patch Management
  • Asset Discovery
  • Security Configuration Management
  • Vulnerability Assessment
  • Sec Compliance Analytics
  • 3rd Party EPP Mgmt
  • Self Quarantine
  • PCI DSS

Inventory (For software license tracking)

  • Software and Hardware Inventory
  • Software Usage Reporting
  • Software Catalogue Correlation
  • Software Tagging

Note that Patch Management is included in both Lifecycle and Compliance and it can be licensed separately.
The license is by number of endpoints.
If your endpoints are server based operating systems, there is an opportunity to license by CPU cores.
Patch Management will include support for many OSes including Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, UNIX.
The list price for Patch Management only is approx. US$6 per device.

OK, hopefully some info to get you started…
