Hardware Independent Imaging

Traditional PC imaging has one major shortcoming in that images created on one hardware platform cannot be easily deployed to another because it is common for even identical PC models to have different hardware components such as the hard drive or network, sound and graphic cards. This causes most organizations to manage a large image library which can become cumbersome and costly in terms of both staff and storage resources.

With Persystent Ensemble you can eliminate this challenge by creating a single, true hardware independent hard drive image (HDI). The hardware independent image can be deployed on all hardware regardless of the HAL type, processor, PC make or model. This drastically reduces the amount of time spent on image creation and maintenance. In addition, an extensive driver database is regularly maintained to ensure all the latest hardware drivers are available.

Advantages of Hardware Independent Images:

• Enables you to deploy one Windows image on all hardware regardless of the make or model - eliminating the need to maintain individual images for PCs from Dell, HP, IBM, Lenovo, etc.
• Reduces the size of your image library and conserves storage space
• Frees you from manually researching and keeping track of new hardware drivers
• Cuts your costs associated with image creation and maintenance
• Saves time by only having to maintain updates, patches and security definitions to one image
