Golden
Machine
|
The sample computer of the network. The original disk image
(the base image) that will be deployed to the clients is created from the
golden machine. The hardware configurations of other computers must
be the same as that of the Golden Machine.
|
|
Disk
Image
|
Disk images are created from the golden machine and deployed to the
other clients, simplifying the deployment of the operating system and other
software.
|
|
Software
Update Package
|
Software Update Packages can help to update the client systems with
minimum effort. The administrator
can install, delete or upgrade an application on the golden machine and
then create an software update package. This package records the changes from the
most recent saved status of the golden machine, and can be deployed to
other clients as a quick and convenient update.
|
|
Deployment
|
The process of provisioning the disk image from the golden machine to
client PCs.
|
|
Network
Recovery
|
When a client crashes, the network recovery function can re-deploy
all disk images and software update packages that were previously deployed
to the client in order to recover the client to its last stable running status.
|
|
Hard
Disk Protection
|
Real-time protection of the hard disk during OS operation. With Hard
Disk Protection enabled, the client computer can save a copy of the current
OS image for recovery purpose. This copy enables recovering a crashed client
to a previously saved state.
|
|
Checkpoint
|
A Checkpoint is a saved status of the client hard disk. When
the Intel® Platform Administrator Client is enabled, the user can create a
checkpoint to save the current status for future recovery.
|
|
Local
Recovery
|
A Local Recovery occurs when the Intel® Platform Administrator
Client is enabled and you select a checkpoint on the individual client to
recover the hard disk to.
|
|
Save
Data
|
Save Data saves the current client hard disk status permanently.
After Save Data is completed, all previous checkpoints are deleted and a
new checkpoint is created based on the saved hard disk status.
|
|
Asset
Monitoring
|
Asset Monitoring enables you to monitor asset information,
including software inventory, hardware inventory, alert information, client
name changes, and power on/power off/reboot client remotely from the server
console.
