Persystent - Features

Automated Repair - ON or OFF the Network
Persystent Enterprise automatically repairs PCs preboot of OS, whether the PC is ON or OFF the network. PE automatically repairs a corrupted PC’s operating system, registry, applications and settings regardless of the type of system failure or problem.  The automated repair process kicks in when the PC is turned on and occurs within seconds. Persystent repairs only the files that are out of compliance with the authorized image for a computer.
 
High Speed Imaging
Persystent Enterprise has a unique, innovative approach to high speed imaging that utilizes single instance file based imaging.  PE allows you to define and create sessions that multicast thousands of images at once.  Multicast is a one-to-many transfer protocol that utilizes the network infrastructure more efficiently and requires the source to send a packet only once, even if it needs to be delivered to a large number of PCs.  This is useful for large-scale rollouts where you need automation and control.  It will significantly reduce the amount of time spent imaging PCs.  PE also uses single instance file storage to minimize storage requirements and reduce network traffic.

Authorized Configuration Enforcement
Persystent Enterprise provides a powerful, web based administrative tool that allows systems administrators to enforce policy and authorized configuration of PCs throughout their environment.  Persystent Enterprise allows administrators to define their own corporate, industry or government configurations.  By enforcing the authorized configuration of PC’s, Persystent Enterprise empowers organizations with improved service levels and business continuity.

Operates Preboot of the OS – ON or OFF the Network
Persystent Enterprise kicks in during the bios, before the operating system; therefore it does not rely on a healthy OS.  Persystent Enterprise is not network dependent, so no matter how remote the location, PE will maintain the desired state that you’ve defined automatically.  PE continuously logs all file changes and reports the information the next time the PC is connected to the network.

Centralized Control
Persystent Enterprise features a client/server architecture that provides tools for centralized planning, policy administration, OS migration and daily automated repair for enterprise PCs. From a centralized web console, administrators set policy, schedule tasks, schedule updates and run reports.

Audit and Compliance Reporting
The PE reporting capability allows IT administrators to audit and analyze policy impact and demonstrates internal control over PCs for regulatory compliance.  In addition, PE can log and report system file changes – ON or OFF the network.

Automated OS Recovery
Persystent Enterprise does not rely on a healthy operating system — instead, it ensures one. Before the OS loads, Persystent reviews and repairs the PCs authorized operating environment in accordance with policy – ON or OFF the network.

Zero-touch Migration (OS and Profile)
PE migrates existing desktops to new operating systems and can apply user settings to new devices without requiring a visit to the desktop, reducing migration time and end-user disruption.

Automated Power Management
PE can help reduce your carbon footprint by going green with PC Power Management.  Administrators can automatically power down PCs at night to dramatically reduce energy usage and cost.

Enhancing Value with Third Party Solutions
Persystent inherits software patches and updates from solutions including PatchLink, WSUS, Microsoft SMS/System Center and more. In addition, Persystent complements traditional desktop management solutions like Altiris and LanDesk by adding automated policy enforcement and repair.
