Best Practices for Provisioning PCs

Organizations that have the lowest cost of ownership have standardized hardware and reduced image counts. This is because the largest portion of the IT budget is the labor associated with provisioning and managing PCs.

From a management perspective, it would be much simpler and more cost effective to manage one PC model, one operating system and the same applications loaded on every PC. But due to departmental requirements, legacy applications and refresh cycles this is not realistic.

A more realistic option would be to reduce the number of images under management. Persystent Ensemble makes this possible with hardware independent imaging.

Top 5 Advantages of Hardware Independent Imaging:

1. Creates one gold image that can be deployed on all hardware models

2. Simplifies pre-deployment OS preparation

3. Reduces the size of your image library and conserves storage space

4. Maintains an updated driver database automatically

5. Cuts costs for creating and maintaining gold images
