Customized Configuration

  • Configuration Administrator makes setting up for your unique broadcasting environment a simple matter.
  • Specify multiple passwords, select drives to be Frozen and create ThawSpaces to save data.
  • Create workstation tasks, schedule maintenance and set advanced networks.
  • Even create multiple customized installers with different configurations for different broadcasting/editing functions.

Easy Deployment

  • Deploy Deep Freeze system restore software as part of your imaging solution.
  • Or deploy it as a Silent Install natively, either as an .exe or as a .msi by using our Deep Freeze MSI Packager.

Enhanced Security, Compliance and Privacy

  • Complete protection for the master boot record (MBR) from rootkit injections and key loggers makes security and data bulletproof.
  • Customization Code ensures that unauthorized administrators are prevented from accessing or controlling a computer that runs Deep Freeze.
  • Administrators can assign up to 15 passwords or create One-Time passwords that will expire after a single use on the workstation.

Windows Updates

  • Automatically download Windows updates even when machines are Frozen.
  • Cached updates are applied as soon as the machines are Thawed, which means Windows Updates are much faster.
  • Forego setting maintenance window completion times and detect when updates are complete and automatically return the computer back to a Frozen state.

Retain Critical Application Data Across Reboots

  • Redirecting both user and application data to storage space on non-system or network drives.
  • Create virtual storage drives called ThawSpaces.
  • Data retained in a ThawSpace or a Thawed drive is not erased upon system reboot, even if the computer is in a Frozen state.
  • Or try using the complementary Faronics Data Igloo that allows you to redirect data for storage.
