Deployment Manager provides the possibility to:

Fully automated server-driven mass deployment of a bare metal PC over the network - with the central deployment console you will be able to create and launch an unlimited number of deployment sessions in parallel. Computers connected to the already running multicast session will be deployed asynchronously, thus considerably reducing the overall deployment time. A sofisticated logging and counter systems will make your job particularly effective.

 

Client-driven single or mass deployment over the network - with this functionality you're free to initiate the deployment procedure directly from the target PC with no need of the central console. It can be done manually or in the unattended mode. If two or more targets ask for the same image then the multicast protocol will automatically come at scene. That's how flexibility of a client-driven deployment in combination with the multicast technique is achieved. All client-driven sessions history will be logged and can be controlled from the central deployment console.

  

Unattended or manual local deployment - the easiest way to deploy a computer is to do it with the bootable Linux/DOS or WinPE recovery environments. In this case you won't need to set up and use any network infrastructure at all. Both recovery environments offer a user-friendly interface and are reach in customization options. They can also be used as an efficient last resort tool (System Recovery Solution) to get your system back on track in most emergency cases.

 

Paragon Multicast Engine for easy work with alternative deployment tools, like WDS/BDD/ImageX - Deployment Manager comes with an easy API and examples how to use its multicast engine to deliver, for instance, .wim images and other tools. Thus you can use Paragon Deployment API together with such Microsoft tools as ImageX, with no need of a crucial change of the technological process, but only by modifying the deployment scripts.

 

PC life-cycle maintenance - Deployment Manager includes Hard Disk Manager as one of its components. That's why you can use all of its functionality for the life-cycle maintenance of master PCs and workstations:

Features and Benefits: Time-proved powerful system imaging - sector-based imaging of an entire hard disk or separate partitions. The resulted archive format is fully compatible with other Paragon products.   Fast and reliable simple or mass deployment either fully automated or manual: Zero-touch automatic multisession Cyclic Deployment for manufacturing purposes Centralized management console to create and manage deployment tasks Easy-to-use standalone deployment from the removable media   Multicast deployment - provides simultaneous deployment of one master image to a bunch of computers.    Client-driven asynchronous multicast deployment - on-the-fly deployment of clients as soon as they are connected to a multicast session.   Advanced flexibility providing customization and scripts support - Bootable Media Builder enables to create custom Linux-based deployment CD/DVD or PXE images (custom menu, the set of components, deployment settings, scripts, and programs).    Preinstalled environment support (WinPE 2.x) - Deployment Manager comes with a build package to create WinPE 2.x CD/DVD or PXE images. Thus you can easily add to your images support of custom hardware, particular programs, or your own scripts; customize the boot menu to make it launch the deployment procedure automatically.    Deployment Client API - enables to use the Paragon Multicast Engine to transfer separate files or packages (for instance, .wim images).    Integrated bare-metal System Recovery Solution - end-users get a multiplatform recovery environment.   Learn more about features...
