to your environment:

Education

Computers in education environments are among the toughest IT environments to manage and secure. The large number of daily users, the limited resources of on-site staff, and the immense number of computers and labs that technology personnel must manage all come together to create an IT 'perfect storm'. IT personnel cannot afford to have computer systems down for long–students use computers in schools to conduct research and complete assignments; instructors need computers to record grades and organize their lessons; administrative staff need their workstations to complete their job function.

Computer Labs

Deep Freeze makes it easy for IT administrators to create bulletproof computer labs that deliver trouble-free computing to instructors and students. Deep Freeze ensures that students are able to use public access computers with the assurance that their session will be free from accidental system misconfiguration, malicious software activity, and incidental system degradation. Personal information is never retained by the computer, which means IT personnel don’t need to worry about desktop computers becoming congested with student projects and files. Computing environments become easier to manage, and expensive computer assets are kept running at 100% capacity.

Deep Freeze's ability to prevent stability degradation ensures that scholastic computer labs are able to provide the same experience over and over again regardless of the user on the desktop–an important prerequisite to successfully teaching a classroom concept.

Administrative Machines

Deep Freeze is not just for student machines; it can also be used on instructor and employee computers. Since Deep Freeze offers flexible options for saving user data, it becomes easy to secure a workstation with total resiliency while still enabling users to save their work. Instructors and staff enjoy the assurance of knowing their computers will never fail them, and IT personnel are freed from having to deal with tedious helpdesk requests.

Libraries

Deep Freeze ensures that students and staff enjoy a trouble-free library computing experience. Students are able to use library computers with the assurance that their session will be free from malicious software and system slowdowns. IT personnel can rest easy with the knowledge that Deep Freeze makes media computers immune from system slowdowns and software corruption caused by students accessing online media resources during their research.

Corporate / Government

Businesses are constantly in search of solutions that help ensure their operations run efficiently and without interruption. Since computers are relied upon for even the most basic of activities, it is imperative that their technology infrastructure is able to withstand attacks from threats such as viruses, malware, and day-zero attacks. Any interruption to business operations results in lost revenue and opportunities.

Office Computers

IT administrators can map employee profiles to an unprotected area or drive so that employees can save their emails, documents, spreadsheets, and projects. Deep Freeze provides employees with total assurance that their computers will never fail them and cause an interruption in their workday. Deep Freeze enables businesses to easily deploy absolute system resiliency to all corporate desktop and laptop computers. Organizations can easily control their enterprise deployments through the Deep Freeze Enterprise Console or through several popular desktop management solutions such as LANDesk Management Suite, Novell ZENworks, or Apple Remote Desktop. By using Deep Freeze, organizations can ensure the computers software is immune from system corruption, slowdown, and malicious intrusions.

Training Facilities

Using Deep Freeze in corporate training centers means that employees can focus on upgrading their knowledge and skills, rather than having to deal with malfunctioning workstations and misconfigured programs. By keeping training center computer configurations consistent with the instructor machine, users can easily learn by example in a standardized learning environment. Every class can count on the computers being ready-to-go in a pristine and fully functional state–without having to rely on IT personnel to reimage or refresh computers after each and every session.

Deep Freeze's ability to prevent stability degradation ensures that training computers are able to provide the same experience over and over again regardless of the user on the desktop–an important prerequisite to successfully teaching a classroom concept.

Mobile Computing

Mobile and telecommuting are on the rise in today's workforce. While this is great for employees who want flexible work arrangements, it's a nightmare for IT personnel who need to service and maintain these off-site computers. Deep Freeze ensures that these computers enjoy rock-solid protection no matter where they are located–great for road warriors who travel far and often who depend on their laptops for all their business productivity and communication. Deep Freeze's absolute protection ensures that any system misconfiguration or threat never causes permanent damage.

Hospitality

Hospitality providers know that their ability to deliver best-in-class service levels is heavily dependent on the integrity and reliability of their computing technology. Whether it's deployed in customer-facing, administrative, in-room, or business centre environments, one element remains constant– guests expect hospitality providers to be able to deliver a stress-free experience from start to finish. Deep Freeze helps hospitality providers meet and exceed guest expectations by ensure a trouble-free computing experience–guests can count on total system integrity, staff can rely on professional computing availability, and IT personnel are freed from tedious support requests.

Public Access Computers

Deep Freeze helps take away the pains of maintaining computers that are used by numerous anonymous individuals–kiosks, cybercafes, and in-room computers all fall into this category. Deep Freeze protects computers from becoming damaged, corrupted, or misconfigured due to viruses, spyware, malicious or accidental user activity. The result is a stress-free computing experience for your guest that increases their positive perception of your organization.

Operations and Administration

Ensuring business operations run smoothly with computers you can trust is an important part of the guest experience. Whether computers are placed in customer-facing areas such as check-in desks, or behind-the scenes in the administrative office, both are critical for providing guests with products and services that they expect–efficiently and effectively. Deep Freeze ensures that computers are always available when needed, and can assure hospitality providers that staff productivity remains high with computers that remain distraction-free.

Business Centres

Corporate guests count on business centers to serve as their office on the road. Computers, telephones, printers, scanners, and Internet access are all critical to their daily productivity, which is why hospitality providers need to ensure their business centers are fully functional and trouble-free at all times. Unfortunately, guests often damage workstations inadvertently by installing unauthorized software, reconfiguring system settings, and exposing the computer to Internet dangers such as viruses and spyware–all of which generate a support request to an already overworked IT department. Deep Freeze's absolute protection eliminates all these problems by ensuring computers start up in a pristine and trouble-free condition each and every time.

Libraries

Computers are deployed in virtually every library today. Patrons use computers to search for books on the shelf and access information on the Internet; librarians need their workstations to check books in and out, communicate with other branches, and manage the daily administration needs. Computers in a public access environment inevitably become plagued by software corruption, viruses, and system misconfiguration. Since most libraries do not have a dedicated IT specialist on site, librarians are often burdened with the task of dealing with troublesome computers and providing front-line support to patrons. When computers experience serious problems that require IT attention, it often takes an extended period of time for IT personnel to arrive on site. This leaves public access and administrative computers in an unusable state for an extended period of time.

Public Access and Catalogue Computers

Deep Freeze ensures that library patrons and staff enjoy a trouble-free computing experience. Patrons are able to use public access library computers with the assurance that their session will be free from malicious software such as viruses and spyware. They can also rest easy knowing that any personal information entered into or recorded by the computer will be wiped out at the end of their session.

Staff Computers

Deep Freeze ensures that librarians can depend on a rock-solid computer to succeed in their responsibilities–such as checking books in and out, requesting transfers, keeping track of group room requests, and accessing research catalogues. Since Deep Freeze keeps computers running at 100% capacity, librarians can focus on providing library assistance to patrons and completing their daily administrative tasks, rather than being burdened with computer-related patron requests.
