Imaging and Deployment Software

Overview:

Deceptively Simple Deployment

In a digitally transforming world, the need for imaging and deployment software is only becoming greater. Controlling and restoring devices remotely, from PCs and thin clients to laptops and servers, is vital for organizations now that hybrid working is here to stay.

• Deploy, monitor, and manage from a single dashboard
• Powerful boot media that works
• Effortless one-touch system deployment

Solving Common Image Deployment Challenges

Despite the increasing need for it, image deployment remains fraught with challenges for IT professionals. These include:

• The amount of time imaging and deployment can take
• Complexity of setup and configuration
• The expense of remote deployment

However, with the right OS deployment tool/s, these challenges can be significantly alleviated.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What will happen when my subscription ends?

SiteDeploy is a subscription product, so if your SiteDeploy Manager subscription expires, you will no longer be able to use the product. However, you can easily add extra endpoints if you run out of available endpoints to deploy to and/or renew when your subscription expires.

Your golden images are built using the same tried and trusted technology found in Macrium Reflect, so you can still access them using our normal version of Reflect or Technicians License, you just won't be able to redeploy to multiple machines. System builders will need to add additional deployment bundles to the SiteDeploy Manager.

Can I deploy to an offline computer?

Yes, while SiteDeploy’s automated connectivity with Site Manager saves you significant time and complexity by allowing you to manage and deploy your golden images from the network, the powerful boot media provides all the tools you need to use an image on a portable storage device.

Note: Offline deployments count towards your license usage.

How is deployment different to backup and restore?

Backup and restore processes are best for managing backups on workstations or servers where local content changes on a regular basis and you generally need to restore data to the same computer… whereas deployment replicates a reference machine (a golden image) to multiple machines. Administrators typically prepare a clean OS installation; configure for a common use case and run sysprep, and then capture the golden image, allowing it to be deployed to one or many computers - new or old. ReDeploy ensures the computer can restart and boot reliably whatever the differences in hardware, allowing Windows to take care of the non-critical drivers.
