- 10. Customization Code Using the same Customization Code throughout the entire organization can centralize the configuration and deployment of Deep Freeze. The Customization Code is a unique identifier that completely encrypts all the Deep Freeze components, such as: Configuration Administrator Enterprise Console Workstation Installation Files Workstation Seed Server Service Manager Command Line Control tool (DFC)

Delta and Vancouver school districts in BC, Canada, reduced electricity use by over 2,974,280 kilowatt hours a year, worth $179,000 in annual cost savings. Shutting down computers also reduces the amount of heat produced, decreasing the schools’ cooling loads.

- 20. Server Service Acts in a relay capacity, allowing multiple consoles to control the same workstations, and for consoles to be able to control workstations reporting on different ports from the same interface. Can be installed to control where network traffic will be sent. Allows administrators to prevent Deep Freeze traffic from going up slower WAN links between sites while still retaining control of workstations. Installed on a secondary system that will remain active as a point of contact for the workstations at all time. Server S e r v ic e Should not be installed on a computer that will be running the Enterprise Console. Runs on any Windows 2000/XP workstation or Windows 2000/2003 Server.

- 21. Server Service Situation Steve is deploying Deep Freeze in his district, the district consists of five sites each with their own tech for the site. Steve wants to be able to see the workstations at each site, but needs to provide control to each tech. Solution In Steve’s environment, Server Service should be installed at the district office, listening on five ports – one for each site. Each port should have a unique password and each tech should be supplied the port number and password for their site’s port. This will allow Steve, who has all the passwords, to connect to all the remote sites to view workstations, while limiting the site technicians to only the machines they require.

- How can you maintain an absolutely flawless computing environment without limiting user access to vital web resources and essential programs? The answer is Deep Freeze. Deep Freeze instantly protects and preserves original computer configurations, eliminating routine IT maintenance while allowing complete unrestricted access to a workstation. Regardless of the changes made to a workstation, simply restart to reset the computer to its original state. The result is a protected network, free of viruses and unwanted programs. Computing environments are easier to manage and maintain, and expensive computer assets are kept running at 100% capacity. Users are able to remain safe and productive in a pristine and efficient environment. Scheduled shutdowns and restarts can save organizations energy and money, while maintenance periods keep workstations current with the latest antivirus definitions and Windows updates. Take this protection a step further with Deep Freeze Enterprise Edition. Protect hundreds or thousands of computers across a distributed LAN, WAN, or over the Internet. Deep Freeze Enterprise provides IT professionals with centralized deployment and flexible management control. Using the Enterprise Console, one can install, control, and manage Deep Freeze workstations remotely.
- Faronics’ market-leading solutions have dramatically impacted the day-to-day lives of thousands of information technology professionals and computing lab managers, ensuring 100% availability of systems, thus significantly reducing workstation maintenance, and increasing user satisfaction. As a customer-centric organization, Faronics’ products are researched and developed in close consultation with our end-users. We value our customer’s ideas and suggestions, and depend on this feedback to provide the innovative solutions our users have come to rely on.
- Faronics Anti-Executable offers a revolutionary method to keep users on task and highly productive. Using a unique whitelist technology, Anti-Executable standardizes any environment by preventing all unauthorized or unwanted programs from being installed, regardless of whether they are downloaded from the Internet or introduced via any removable media. Administrators are given control and flexibility through the option to authorize specific applications as needed. Keep users on task with productive applications like Microsoft Office, but block games, MSN Messenger, and portable applications from running. Anti-Executable also protects systems against malware and day-zero attacks by blocking all unknown executables.
- Faronics also offers Deep Freeze for Mac. Deep Freeze Mac works on both the Intel and PPC system configurations. Also, on the road ahead, Deep Freeze Linux will be releasing in mid 2007. Our original release will support OpenSUSE and SLED. With Deep Freeze Linux, organizations will be able to leverage the strengths of Linux with the ease of use that Deep Freeze offers.
- Delta and Vancouver school districts in BC, Canada, produced significant energy savings resulting in reduced electricity use by over 2,974,280 kilowatt hours (kWh) a year, totaling approximately $179,000 in annual cost savings. Shutting down computers also reduces the amount of heat produced, decreasing the schools’ cooling loads.
- Junctioning is a flexible method in Windows 2000 or greater for transparently redirecting critical folders Hard Links are related to Junctions but act on files instead of folders Using Junctioning you can redirect user profiles and application data folders easily Using Hard Links, you can specify individual files Move from C: to any other partition, drive or ThawSpace
- Technical Support Savings Microsoft estimates that each help desk call costs an organization on average $25, based on this, Deep Freeze will pay for itself after rapidly; $25 x 1000 help desk calls = $25,000. However, since resources for many of our customers are limited and fixed, many consider the saving in technical support to be even more important than dollars since having Deep Freeze enables Information Technology to get the important things done! Power Consumption Savings An independent case study determined that Deep Freeze will save on average $13 per workstation, annually, in energy consumption; based on this alone, Deep Freeze provides a solid tangible savings of $13 x 1000 workstations = $13,000 Educational/Productivity Benefits The assurance of having operable and available workstations is intangible, however it resonates when satisfaction levels remain high of students, teachers, patrons, employees and end-users and that is priceless!
- Computers are essential items for business and communications, but are a major consumer of energy resources. If computers are not managed properly during downtimes, they can increase the energy costs of an organization dramatically. Power management is a strategic investment that is not only financially responsible, but environmentally as well. Faronics Power Save goes above and beyond the basic power saving features provided by the operating system, and matches computer energy consumption with the activity level of the user. Power Save gives administrators a number of options to customize an installation package to suit the needs of their specific environment, including the frequency of the action, what day(s) of the week the action will occur, as well as time of day. In addition to the ability to deploy Power Save to single or multiple computers with ease, administrators can also configure sleep or shutdowns to take place based on CPU, disk, and application activity. Power Save also has the capability of generating detailed reports outlining enterprise-wide energy consumption levels and associated costs savings, allowing administrators to see the immediate financial and environmental returns on their investment.
