Unlike the old Symantec Ghost days, IT departments simply can’t afford to create a separate disk image for each device, let alone maintain all of them. Creating a golden image can take days or weeks to test and certify. Given high-priority tasks and looming Windows migration projects, customers can’t spend that much time for each device, especially as endpoint devices are now extremely diverse. Additionally, organizations often require department-specific images which exponentially multiply the need for images, the related storage, creation time, and maintenance nightmare. 

Aside from sprawling image libraries, modern OS’s don’t respond as well to Symantec Ghost as they did in the Windows XP days. Installation procedures have changed from Windows XP to Windows 7 and Windows 8. To image successfully these days, IT pros need to capture the proper BCD files, support multiple partitions, learn about Sysprep changes, and more.

SmartDeploy is imaging and deployment software that handles all of these challenges for you. With hardware-independent, single image management, and one process for any version of Windows, right out of the box. More


PC BREAK-FIX

Customers have adapted computer imaging software to work in a variety of scenarios. Primarily designed for OS and application software deployment for new hardware or Windows migration projects, imaging software can be used for PC break-fix. However, given the complexity to keep image libraries patched and up to date over time, using an imaging and deployment software for PC break-fix isn't always easy.

SmartDeploy is hardware-independent which means one image works quickly and reliably on any computer.

Using SmartDeploy for PC break-fix is a great alternative to time consuming computer troubleshooting. Many customers find that quickly reimaging a device saves significant IT time over manually troubleshooting and resolving a PC issue. With centralized, single image management and a reliable computer imaging software solution, IT can easily wipe and reload a device to get the user back up and running quickly. More
SINGLE IMAGE
While the management and security features of virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) are compelling, the cost, implementation complexity, and poor endpoint performance are prohibitive. SmartDeploy offers an affordable alternative to VDI with its flexible, image layering architecture. Using SmartDeploy imaging software, customers can leverage existing IT resources to maximize efficiency and realize many of the VDI benefits without the cost and complexity.

SmartDeploy customers simplify and centralize their image management practice by creating a software-based universal image that is compatible with any physical or virtual device. Separately, device drivers and hardware-specific software components are provided for you so one image can be applied to any device. Best of all, end user experience is not compromised by the limitations associated with accessing a virtual desktop over a network. Since computing power is executed locally, end-users are always at maximum productivity even in low-bandwidth or offline environments.

With SmartDeploy, IT has the imaging and deployment software to manage images like VDI without the data center expense or compromised user experience. More
