IMAGING APPROACH AND DRIVERS
Manage a single image with SmartDeploy’s hardware-independent layering architecture




“SmartDeploy solved our workstation imaging problem. Ghost and Acronis are too simple. Microsoft SCCM is too complex. SmartDeploy is easy to use. Its automation feature is also incredible.”
– Leon van Lare, Head of ICT
TIME TO DEPLOY AN IMAGE
Deploy an image with SmartDeploy in just 36 minutes
- Deployment time in minutes
The results of a deployment tool comparison test conducted by independent testing firm, PassMark Software, conclude that capturing and deploying an image with SmartDeploy is 47% faster than Symantec Ghost. SmartDeploy is faster than competing solutions because of its layered image architecture, simplified driver management, and zero dedicated infrastructure requirement.
IMAGE UPDATES
Single image management allows for routine and easy updates
“I have been in IT/IS for 18 years. I have dealt with a myriad of imaging products (Ghost, WDS, ImageX, Acronis, etc.) SmartDeploy has been the easiest, most intuitive product that I have dealt with, so far. I am extremely pleased with SmartDeploy and its ease of use.”
– John Abron, Rapid Advance
EVOLUTION OF WINDOWS
SmartDeploy works the same for all architectures and versions of Windows
Image creation and deployment processes have evolved with each new Windows version. Technical details such as the ability to capture multiple partitions, disk formatting options, Sysprep syntax, and other core aspects of imaging are different with Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and changed even more with Windows 10. Using a reliable and flexible deployment toolset can significantly improve IT management efficiency.
