Publisher's description

From Symantec :

  • Streamlines the deployment and migration of operating systems, software updates, user profiles, and data to desktop and mobile assets
  • Hardware and software inventory data is now gathered from the Ghost Console, enabling administrators to design provisioning tasks based on specific client attributes
  • A Client Staging Area can be dynamically created on managed PCs, enabling a repository for whole disk images, software "hot fixes", and user profiles
  • Client Staging Area contents can be launched and executed locally and are preserved during a cloning or restore, ensuring an "onboard" recovery solution for every PC
  • Multicast File Transfer allows an administrator to send and execute individual files or critical security-related "hot fixes" to multiple recipients simultaneously
  • Includes a 32-bit version of Ghost and the GhostCast Server designed and certified for the Microsoft Windows Preinstallation Environment (WinPE*) as well as for Windows 2000 and XP
  • Enhanced file system support, including the ability to read/write images to and from NTFS and native GRUB and LILO support for the Linux EXT2/3 file system
  • Provides the ability to back up and/or load Ghost images from a variety of media options including supported USB, Firewire, or recordable CD or DVD external drives and devices
  • Enhanced Gdisk functionality that meets US Department of Defense standards for securely wiping a disk during an "end of lease" decommissioning of machines
  • Includes OmniFS, a command line utility that enables administrators to mount and manipulate files and directories in a locally attached NTFS or FAT file system (including FAT hidden partitions), from DOS or Windows PE

    (*Microsoft Windows Preinstallation Environment (WinPE) is a 32-bit boot environment that replaces the functionality of DOS during the deployment and migration process. For more information on Windows PE, please visit Microsoft at www.microsoft.com)

    Comprehensive solution for enterprise PC management, user migration, and software deployment

    Symantec Ghost is a comprehensive enterprise tool for OS deployment, software distribution, back-up, and disaster recovery. The solution helps to reduce IT costs by streamlining networked server, desktop, and notebook management. Now administrators can deploy or restore an OS image or application onto a PC in minutes, and easily migrate user settings and profiles to customize PCs.

    Symantec Ghost enables reliable backups of PC drives, including applications and critical data. Administrators can choose to deploy entire operating systems, application packages, user "personalities," security "hot fixes", or incremental backups. A unique file preservation capability preserves the Client Staging Area's contents during a restore, thereby maintaining a local backup and recovery image. With the Ghost Client installed, there's no need to visit the target PC in order to conduct routine deployment or maintenance.

    Improved centralized and remote management, a Client Staging Area, local cloning support, and multicast file transfer enable fast and easy PC management. From the Symantec Ghost central management console, IT managers can quickly deploy whole application packages or specific PC changes such as registry changes or desktop settings. The console also enables administrators to easily migrate user "personalities", including PC settings and data. Additionally, IT managers can remotely clone multiple workstations and then quickly configure critical workstation data such as TCP/IP settings and machine, workgroup, and domain names.

    A 32-bit version of Ghost for Microsoft® Windows® Preinstallation Environment (WinPE) allows administrators to create image files on hard drives that are accessible via WinPE through a variety of methods, including the GhostCast Server. And, full NTFS read and write functionality, expanded Linux support, and external media support enable migration via the latest technologies.
