Deployment Manager 8.5 for System Builders, VARs, System Integrators
Deployment Manager is an advanced rock-solid solution that will make any kind of deployment (simple or mass) of preliminary prepared prototype system images as easy and efficient as never before.
Imaging to make an exact image of the system drive for further cloning.
Stand-Alone Deployment to deploy a system image to a bare metal PC with the removable media.
Remote Deployment to remotely boot a bare metal PC via LAN and then deploy a system image to it. No user involvement is required on the remote PC.
Post-Deployment Configuration to easily customize the client disk layout and set up the required Windows settings (PC name, DNS, display, etc.) after the image has been deployed.
Remote Deployment Console to initiate, manage, and supervise all deployment sessions from one place.
Client-driven deployment over the network (ConstantCast) to initiate the deployment procedure directly from the target PC with no need of the central console. Clients will be able to connect to the required multicast session at any time.
Object Deployment (Deployment API) to make it possible to easily integrate Multicast together with ConstantCast with any existing deployment techniques including WDS/BDD/ImageX.
Zero-install imaging to take an image of a prototype PC with no need to install any imaging software.
Central Image Storage is the most preferable way of storing images. The Infrastructure Server can access it directly with no need of sharing, thus avoiding unauthorized access.
Image Management to easily create deployment templates, thus minimizing the system deployment time and costs.
Hard Disk Manager/Drive Backup integration to establish a reliable data protection system or carry out maintenance or upgrade tasks of any complexity.
Browsable Images to get access to backup images of entire hard disks or separate partitions and retrieve information you need.
Differential Backup to archive only changes since the last full image, thus considerably saving the backup image space.
Synthetic Backup to change any property (merge a given differential image with its full image, split/un-split, compress/de-compress, etc.) of an existing image without carrying out a physical backup operation.
Session-based deployment to deploy several groups of machines with different system images or settings simultaneously.
Automatic Sessions to deploy a system image to all computers connected to a particular session (computers booted via LAN are automatically connected to this kind of session).
ID-based Sessions to deploy a system image only to the computers booted from the media with a specific identifier.
MAC address-based Sessions to deploy a system image only to the computers listed as authorized with MAC addresses serving as identifiers.
Session Scheduling to set a timetable for a deployment session to launch it on a regular basis.
Cyclic Deployment to connect a PC to the already running session at any moment and launch the deployment procedure just from the current stage. When the session is over it will be automatically re-launched to complete the deployment of this very PC, thus considerably reducing the overall deployment time.
Multicasting to simultaneously transport the same image parts to several remote PCs, thus significantly relieving the network traffic.
Speed control facilities to automatically disconnect slow-going or not-responding target machines from the session to keep the highest deployment speed possible.
Deployment Monitor to supervise execution of any deployment session: the operation progress, computers connected to a particular session and their state.
Integrated Paragon PXE Server to remotely boot a bare metal system via the network with no bootable media required.
Wake-on-LAN Support to remotely power on computers to deploy via the network with no bootable media required.
Hard Disk Migration to copy an entire hard disk to a hard disk of larger or smaller capacity.
Partition Cloning to copy a specified partition to a block of the free space (the on-disk un-allocated space that is not assigned to any partition).
Disk/Partition Automatic Resize to automatically expand or schrink partitions according to your needs.
Incremental Copy to copy changes from the moment of the last hard disk copy operation. After performing a comparison between a previous copy of a hard disk and its current state, only sectors that are different will be updated, thus considerably decreasing the amount of data to write.
Hot Copy to process locked partitions and hard disk under Windows NT+ family operating systems providing both high operating efficiency as well as low hardware requirements.
Copy Scheduling to set a timetable for any copy operation to execute it on a regular basis exactly when you need it.
Boot Media Builder to prepare bootable media (CD,DVD) or a PXE image to get a client computer ready for the deployment procedure.
Manual Deployment to boot the desired machine from the bootable media and then initiate the deployment procedure by using a system image contained on that media or in the remote Image Storage.
Microsoft Sysprep to automatically send the required sysprep configuration file to a remote PC after the deployment procedure is over.
Files Update to automatically update the required files and .ini entries after the deployment procedure is over.
Paragon Scripting to execute a script made in any Paragon utility to perform the required partitioning or backup operations after the deployment procedure is over.
Custom Application Run to launch any custom application after the deployment procedure is over.
