Overview
Every company faces increasing challenges for configuring and deploying new PCs and workstations with new operating systems in a distributed environment. Having a deployment solution that enables them to use a standard configuration for all new machines significantly decreases support expenses, including time and cost.
Centralized Management of Deployments
Viewfinity has teamed up with Acronis to offer our customers an award-winning OS deployment product that provides centralized control over the capture, customization and deployment of disk images. Viewfinity OS Deployment reduces IT support and maintenance costs by helping you standardize your entire company on a single or select few operating systems. OS Deployment creates an exact disk image of the standard configuration, including the operating system, configuration files and all applications. With our multicast capabilities, the software then deploys that image to multiple systems simultaneously, making it ideal for rapid bare-metal installations.
How it Works
OS Deployment for PCs is a comprehensive deployment solution that enables IT organizations to deploy or restore laptops and desktops quickly and easily. OS Deployment Universal is hardware/manufacturer independent so you can automatically provision dissimilar hardware using a single image. With OS Deployment Universal, you can use one image on multiple PCs with different hardware, eliminating the need for hundreds of images.
OS Deployment gives IT support the option to deploy new machines using both the multicast and unicast protocols, providing maximum flexibility and reducing implementation and bandwidth.
Note that this version of the product does not support server operating systems.
