New Operating System Deployment Capabilities Make Upgrading to
Windows 7 Fast and Easy
TORONTO, CANADA – February 2, 2010 -- Specops Software, a global
innovation leader of Group Policy and Windows PowerShell-based desktop
automation and password management software, today announced a
significant upgrade of one of its flagship products, Specops Deploy™.
The new version, Specops Deploy 4.0, includes:
- Operating System (OS) deployment capabilities
- Software deployment
- Virtual deployment
For organizations planning or considering upgrading to Microsoft®
Windows 7, Specops Deploy 4.0 will lower the burden on IT departments by
automating clients managed through standard Active Directory tools.
“Adding OS deployment capabilities to Specops Deploy was a big
enhancement of the deployment solution. Now companies have everything
they need to easily launch new software how and when they need to,” said
Thorbjorn Sjovold, chief technology officer at Specops Software. "With
Windows 7, the newest version of Microsoft’s operating system, recently
becoming available, the timing for Specops Deploy 4.0 with OS deployment
is perfect for those planning the upgrade."
Specops Deploy 4.0 provides features and benefits in three key areas:
- Operating Systems Deployment – Deploy 4.0 is
based on standard components such as Windows Deployment Service and
Microsoft Deployment Toolkit 2010. It handles the two components in a
flexible, fully automated way using existing infrastructure. This saves
significant time and money for IT departments.
- Software Deployment – The award winning
software distribution solution provides full use of existing investments
in Group Policy and maximizes the potential of Active Directory without
the need for additional layers of technology. With version 4.0, Specops
Deploy constitutes a complete software deployment management system,
including a powerful and flexible user interface.
- Virtual Deployment – With Specops Virtual
Deploy managing Microsoft App-V, virtual applications become as easy as
to manage any other type of software because a virtual application, or
bubble, is deployed rather than as an actual package set up. Specops
Virtual Deploy was a finalist for the Best of TechEd 2009 award in the
virtualization category.
Because Specops Deploy requires no additional hardware and uses
existing infrastructure, Specops Software has the competitive advantage
that it manages the deployment of applications and operating systems
with full efficiency, simple set up and a low learning curve.
