Casper is the component that is used to image, update, and maintain existing Macintosh computers or set-up new ones. Casper's functionality means consistency between computers, whenever and wherever they're deployed. Local or remote imaging is easy and packages can be pulled from local OS X, Linux, Solaris, and/or Windows servers. You can schedule this activity across your network in the middle of the night, over the weekend, at login, or whatever works for your organization. Using Casper, you can reload a computer from scratch, remove unauthorized applications, perform preventative maintenance, and more.
Casper Suite Version 6.0 makes local imaging and remote management even easier by now offering these functions in separate applications.
