Product Data Sheet
Integrated Mapping makes it easy to save user data between restarts.
“I have had teachers near retirement tell me they were ready to call it quits because of erratic and inconsistent computer
soware. Not until aer last summer when Deep Freeze was installed did they finally remember why they liked to teach.”
– Chuck Taylor, San Juan Unified School District, CA
Absolute System Integrity
Deep Freeze Mac with ARD Integration provides a completely
non-restrictive working environment where there is no need
to be concerned about system misconfiguration or malicious
damage to a Mac OS X system; a simple restart eradicates all
changes and ensures that the standard system configuration is
available at all times. All changes to a machine are temporary
for that working session, including installation of new
soware, removal of programs, and application preference
configuration. e need for IT professionals to perform
rebuilds, re-image, or troubleshoot computers is eliminated,
resulting in a reduction in IT expenditures and an increase in
computer uptime.
