The All-In-One Toolbox to Build and Deploy Images

The Imaging Suite's modular approach to imaging makes configuring multiple images easy by building configurations from a library of custom packages. Utilizing the same set of operating system and application packages to build multiple configurations ensures that each configuration is made up of identical components.

Most imaging utilities are based on a monolithic approach in which administrators build one base image that includes every element for every machine. The base image is then copied and adjusted to accommodate each configuration required by the network. This approach results in many large, monolithic images that require both storage and maintenance.

The Imaging Suite's package-based approach to imaging reduces storage requirements, tracks changes, ensures consistency across the organization, and eliminates post-imaging activities.

These short videos illustrate the simplicity of using the Imaging Suite to streamline package building and imaging.
