City of Wheaton Chooses Persystent Software to Keep PCs Up and Running in Squad Cars

TAMPA, FL, April 21, 2010 – Persystent Software, developers of Persystent Suite, the fastest PC recovery solution in the world, restoring application and operating system (O/S) files that are corrupted, changed or missing with just a simple reboot, today announced that the City of Wheaton -- a suburban community located west of Chicago – has chosen the company’s Persystent Suite solution to ensure 24/7 uptime of their Data911 M6 Mobile Data Terminals used in its fleet of PC-equipped police squad cars.

“For obvious reasons, we wanted to ensure that our police officers could access the information they need from their PCs – day or night, 24/7 – when they are on the road and off the network. Persystent Suite is enabling our small IT department (of three people) to do that,” says David Arndt, Network Analyst for the City of Wheaton. “Just by rebooting on demand, police officers have the power to restore their machines to a fully functional state.”

Arndt adds, “In the past, we were constantly swapping out PCs from squad cards for repair. That just wasn’t efficient standard procedure for resolving daily PC issues. We expect Persystent Suite to save us tremendous time by enabling PCs to fix themselves.”

Along with the core “self-healing” PC repair technology of Persystent Suite, the City of Wheaton IT department plans to rely on the automated imaging capabilities and lockdown features of Persystent Suite that are particularly complementary with their third-party applications in use.
