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.

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.
