Faronics Deep Freeze 4.0 is ready for Leopard
In anticipation of the release of Mac OS X 10.5 “Leopard”, Faronics has announced that a new version of its Deep Freeze Mac security software is now available. Version 4.0 of Deep Freeze Mac offers several product improvements, support for Leopard, multiple Maintenance schedules, and the highly-anticipated Integrated Mapping feature.
The showcase feature in the new Deep Freeze Mac 4.0 is Integrated Mapping, which makes saving user data while still protecting the system software simple. IT administrators are able to map user accounts individually or by user type to a second partition or Thawspace to retain user documents, pictures, movies, music, and bookmarks.
IT administrators of large Mac deployments are already familiar with Deep Freeze Mac’s ability to protect a workstation’s operating system and software without restricting user access. Mac users who are protected by Deep Freeze’s ‘reboot-to-restore’ concept are able to enjoy a clean and consistent Mac session–each and every time. IT administrators love the fact that Mac environments are easier to manage and expensive computer assets are kept running at 100% capacity. Unlike imaging technology, Deep Freeze Mac’s ‘reboot-to-restore’ process does not increase bootup times or impact system resources whatsoever.
A free, fully functional 30-day evaluation version of Deep Freeze Mac is available. Deep Freeze Mac also offers enterprise capabilities via its integration with Apple Remote Desktop.
