Five Easy Steps to Smarter Systems Imaging

It goes without saying that static images are an artifact of a time long past. The new best practices for adding intelligence into systems imaging focuses on the layers: drivers, updates, applications, configurations and user personality.

Read this paper to learn a smarter approach to systems imaging and software deployment that layers atop the core image a set of unique drivers, updates, applications, configurations and user personality — turning a basic systems image into a viable user experience. You’ll also learn the five key steps to a better imaging experience for administrators and users, and what to look for when selecting a right solution, including:

• Automation of manual imaging processes
• Unification of image capture and storage
• Customization through one or more task sequences
• Imaging of multiple computers at the same time via multicasting
• Ongoing support for further updates, configurations and new applications
