Symantec Ghost Solution Suite is the
industry's most widely-used enterprise imaging and deployment solution
with ease-of-use for managing the entire PC lifecycle including OS
deployment, software distribution, PC migration and retirement. It
reduces IT costs by streamlining networked desktop and laptop management
in an enterprise environment.
Administrators can now choose to create and deploy entire operating
systems, application packages, user "personalities, " security "hot
fixes" using either file- or sector-based imaging technology.
Additionally a unique file preservation capability preserves the Client
Staging Area's contents during a restore, thereby maintaining a local
backup and recovery image for an original state recovery. With the Ghost
Client installed, there's no need to visit the target PC in order to
conduct routine deployment or maintenance.
Centralized and remote management, a Client Staging Area, local cloning
support, and multicast file transfer enable fast and easy PC management.
From the Symantec Ghost central management console, IT managers can
quickly deploy whole application packages or specific PC changes such as
registry changes or desktop settings. Additionally, users can remotely
clone multiple workstations and then quickly configure critical
workstation data such as TCP/IP settings and machine, workgroup, and
domain names. Symantec Ghost provides a secure software solution that
empowers IT administrators to migrate operating system and application
settings, and user data quickly and cost-effectively.
A 32-bit version of Ghost for Microsoft Windows Preinstallation
Environment (WinPE) allows administrators to create image files on hard
drives that are accessible via WinPE through a variety of methods,
including the GhostCast Server. IT Administrators can also retire PCs by
safely erasing the contents of the hard disks and ensuring that
confidential files cannot be recovered.
