Deep Freeze Mac instantly protects and preserves baseline computer configurations. No matter what changes a user makes to a workstation, simply restart to eradicate all changes and reset the computer to its original state - right down to the last byte. Expensive computer assets are kept running at 100% capacity and technical support time is reduced or eliminated completely. The result is consistent trouble-free computing and a dramatic increase in computer uptime.
While Deep Freeze Mac provides bulletproof protection, its non-restrictive approach also improves user productivity and satisfaction. By placing no restrictions on a user's ability to access all system resources, users avoid the frustration of downtime due to software conflicts, operating system corruption, misconfiguration, and many other problems. Users are always assured of computers that are consistently operable and available.
This edition of Deep Freeze Mac can be deployed and controlled with Apple Remote Desktop (ARD) or the LANDesk Management Suite console.
