Deep Freeze Ensures 100% Uptime for School Computers

VANCOUVER, British Columbia - May 10, 2018 - PRLog -- Deep Freeze by Faronics has been enabling schools to achieve 100% uptime of their computing systems by leveraging the patented reboot to restore technology. School computers are prone to frequent malfunctioning as students often tamper with the admin-defined configuration or accidentally get viruses into the systems through downloads or while browsing malicious websites. While it is difficult to have total control over the activities of all students, the possible ill effects of their actions can still be mitigated with a robust system restore software. This is exactly what Deep Freeze facilitates.

The Nuances of the Digital Classroom

Lab and classroom computers frequently get infected with malware, or malfunction due to configuration drifts. The IT teams have to constantly monitor the health of each system despite the limited number of professionals available for the task. Hence, the number of IT tickets keep mounting, resulting in prolonged downtime and disruptions in learning. Blocking access to certain websites and features is the conventional practice to prevent malware entry and configuration drifts. However, imposing such restrictions in a digitally empowered classroom is more of an obstacle than a cure as it minimizes the scope of exploring and experimenting with the technology.

100% System Uptime with Deep Freeze

Deep Freeze, the instant system recovery solution from Faronics, has been gaining traction for its ease of use and the ability to restore systems within the time required to restart a computer. The software restores the optimal functioning state of the system upon every reboot. The following factors have established Deep Freeze as a viable solution in the education landscape:

Reducing IT intervention - By standardizing configuration of computing systems across school labs, the software eliminates the need for system reimaging or rebuilding, which is a complex and time-consuming task that adds to downtime.

Central Management Console - Deep Freeze enterprise console enables IT admins to monitor each device remotely from their own office, schedule auto updates, perform Restart, Shutdown, Wake-On-LAN, and more.

Deep Freeze minimizes the need for manual IT intervention and for managing restrictions on usage of technology in classrooms. It facilitates uninterrupted learning in a non-restrictive digital environment for both educators and students.
