Easily edit computer and server images, eliminating the need to rebuild images. Single-instancing technology minimizes the time, bandwidth and storage required to capture and archive disk images, while efficient state management allows for lightning-fast disk imaging by bypassing redundant file transfers and applying only the most recent updates to the original image. Execute fully automated bare-metal system build-outs with the KACE SDA’s agentless feature.
Reference all images, network OS installations and related assets from the centralized deployment library whether you use the KACE SDA Virtual Remote Appliance, KBE USB or KBE CD. This improves deployment reliability and saves you valuable time by ensuring that you don’t inadvertently deploy an outdated disk image or network OS installation to systems.
Save time with the KACE SDA’s automated pre- and post-installation capabilities by eliminating the need to manually build out a single machine. The KACE SDA automates such pre-installation tasks as disk, RAID and BIOS configuration, as well as post-installation tasks including sysprep automation, domain joining, service pack application and script deployment.
The KACE SDA’s file-based imaging format supports both Windows and Mac platforms. Easily automate a remote disk image from the KACE SDA’s web-based console.
Save time and reduce complexity by addressing all of your systems recovery, deployment and provisioning needs with a single solution. The KACE Systems Deployment Appliance features a secure, web-based console that provides an intuitive gateway to all KACE SDA functionality, including system recovery and deployment, integrated reporting and a network scanner. You can access this easy-to-use remote administration tool from any web-enabled workstation in any location.
Ease systems deployment and administration with integrated reporting. The KACE SDA includes pre-configured reports on deployed systems, captured images, scripted installations and more, which can be saved in .html or .csv file formats. Plus, you can use any third-party ODBC-compliant reporting tool, such as SAP® Crystal Reports®, to analyze the information collected by the appliance.
Cut deployment and maintenance costs with a completely agentless design. Remotely execute all deployment activities over the network from the integrated deployment library. Improve user productivity and satisfaction by ensuring the correct image is always deployed to each target system.
Easily discover systems available for deployment using network scanning capabilities via Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP)-based ping and port scanning or by utilizing the KACE Systems Management Appliance’s discovery. Identify all plug-and-play devices on a machine and view the compatibility of their drivers with your target operating system.
Reduce deployment costs and time by eliminating desk visits for systems that don’t provision correctly or that become corrupted. The KACE SDA enables remote recovery of corrupted systems that can’t be booted to the local hard drive.
Greatly simplify system recovery. The KACE SDA Boot Environment (KBE) enables administrators to execute a wide range of recovery tasks on Windows® platforms, and the KACE SDA Mac OS X NetBoot environment enables easy recovery of Mac systems. The intuitive Finder interface makes it easy to select a system component to explore, diagnose and repair.
Avoid costly and time-consuming desk visits by your technicians with remote control over recovery environments. Remotely access KBE and Mac® OS X® NetBoot from the web-based KACE SDA appliance console via the built-in VNC server.
