Deep Freeze offers flexible scheduling options that
enable IT administrators to easily create automated
update and maintenance periods. Schedule Deep
Freeze to allow system and virus definition updates
to occur from predefined times—either with the Deep
Freeze Enterprise Console or using your preferred third-party
desktop management solution.
Environments:
Computers
in education environments are among the toughest IT
environments to manage and secure. The large number
of daily users, the limited resources of on-site staff,
and the immense number of computers and labs that technology
personnel must manage all come together to create an
IT ‘perfect storm’. IT personnel cannot afford to have
computer systems down for long—students use computers
in schools to conduct research and complete assignments;
instructors need computers to record grades and organize
their lessons; administrative staff need their workstations
to complete their job function.

the knowledge that Deep Freeze Mac makes media computers
immune from system slowdowns and software corruption
caused by students accessing online media resources
during their research.
Businesses
are constantly in search of solutions that help ensure
their operations run efficiently and without interruption.
Since computers are relied upon for even the most basic
of activities, it is imperative that their technology
infrastructure is able to withstand attacks from threats
such as system mis-configuration and day-zero attacks.
Any interruption to business operations results in lost
revenue and opportunities.
Office Computers
IT administrators can map employee profiles to an
unprotected area or drive so that employees can save
their emails, documents, spreadsheets, and projects.
Deep Freeze Mac provides employees with total assurance
that their computers will never fail them and cause
an interruption in their workday. Deep Freeze Mac enables
businesses to easily deploy absolute system resiliency
to all corporate desktop and laptop computers. Organizations

Using Deep Freeze Mac in corporate training centers
means that employees can focus on upgrading their knowledge
and skills, rather than having to deal with malfunctioning
workstations and mis-configured programs. By keeping
training center computer configurations consistent with
the instructor machine, users can easily learn by example
in a standardized learning environment. Every class
can count on the computers being ready-to-go in a pristine
and fully functional state—without having to rely on
IT personnel to reimage or refresh computers after each
and every session.
Deep Freeze Mac’s ability to prevent stability degradation
ensures that training computers are able to provide
the same experience over and over again regardless of
the user on the desktop—an important prerequisite to
successfully teaching a classroom concept.
Mobile Computing
Mobile and telecommuting are on the rise in today’s
workforce. While this is great for employees who want
flexible work arrangements, it’s a nightmare for IT
personnel who need to service and maintain these off-site
computers. Deep Freeze Mac ensures that these computers
enjoy rock-solid protection no matter where they are
located—great for road warriors who travel far and often
who depend on their laptops for all their business productivity
and communication. Deep Freeze Mac’s absolute protection
ensures that any system misconfiguration or threat never
causes permanent damage.
Hospitality
providers know that their ability to deliver best-in-class
service levels is heavily dependent on the integrity
and reliability of their computing technology. Whether
it’s deployed in customer-facing, administrative, in-room,
or business centre environments, one element remains
constant— guests expect hospitality providers to be
able to deliver a stress-free experience from start
to finish. Deep Freeze Mac helps hospitality providers
meet and exceed guest expectations by ensure a trouble-free
computing experience—guests can count on total system
integrity, staff can rely on professional computing
availability, and IT personnel are freed from tedious

as their office on the road. Computers, telephones,
printers, scanners, and Internet access are all critical
to their daily productivity, which is why hospitality
providers need to ensure their business centers are
fully functional and trouble-free at all times. Unfortunately,
guests often damage workstations inadvertently by installing
unauthorized software, reconfiguring system settings,
and exposing the computer to Internet dangers such as
viruses and spyware—all of which generate a support
request to an already overworked IT department. Deep
