Faronics Deep Freeze, unique reboot to restore solution

Deep Freeze is a unique reboot to restore solution. The software uses various patented technologies to redirect information written to the hard disk to a table in the file system, leaving the original data intact. The redirected information in this table is no longer referenced once the computer is rebooted. This restores the computer to its original state, down to the last byte.

Why Faronics Deep Freeze?

Faronics Deep Freeze makes computers within the organization indestructible, eliminates downtime, increases user productivity and guarantees 100% workstation recovery at every restart. Deep Freeze is available in Standard, Enterprise and Server versions for both Windows and Mac machines.

Deep Freeze provides the ultimate workstation protection by removing all changes users make to your computers and returning them to your chosen configuration with a simple reboot. It makes workstation configurations indestructible and prevents configuration drift and unintended system error configuration. This helps your organization maintain software compliance on all workstations.
