Deployment Manager

Deployment Manager is a professional tool for original equipment manufacturers and IT departments, helping to perform effective centralized deployment for a computer park of any size.

High-performance deployment

All machines across the network are processed at the same time via multicasting and can be switched to uni- or constant-casting when more efficient.

Various
options

Remote or on-site, manual or fully-automated, scheduled, cyclic client- or server-driven deployments.

Getting deployment-ready

Prepare target machines for deployment by starting them up from custom bootable media or via the network.

Post-deployment customization

Specific client hardware adoption, e.g. storage and NIC drivers injection. The Paragon post-configuration scripting to create an optimal working environment for end user.

NEW in Deployment Manager ver. 12

Wix-based installer that speeds up and streamlines the installation process.
New Join-to-Domain post-configuration scenario.
Encrypted backup data support.
Raw backup data support.

General deployment

Master imaging of disks, possibility to exclude redundant data during the process.
Central deployment console to initiate, manage, and supervise all sessions from a single location.
Initiate deployment directly from the target PC. Clients will be able to connect to a required multicast session at any time.
Prepare a bootable flash stick or a PXE image to get a client computer ready for deployment and/or create a master image.

Remote deployment

Simultaneous deployment of multiple machine groups with different system images or settings
- automatic sessions
- ID-based sessions
- MAC address-based sessions.
Schedule a deployment session to launch it on a regular basis.

Master imaging

Zero-install imaging, pVHD format support.
Back up changes made after the full or latest incremental image – the most efficient way of updating master images.
Central image storage allows to avoid unauthorized use.
Access the backup images of entire hard disks to retrieve necessary information.
