About SmartDeploy

SmartDeploy is an endpoint management software service that simplifies and accelerates Windows OS and application deployment across any PC. IT professionals choose SmartDeploy for ease-of-use, straightforward configuration, and customized deployment features.

 

One image to rule them all

SmartDeploy gives you the tools you need to achieve true hardware-independence: 

  • Eliminate redundant IT infrastructure and costs by creating and maintaining one centralized golden Windows image.
  • Deploy a single golden Windows image to any PC endpoint, regardless of manufacturer or model, and streamline endpoint management.
  • Reduce the risk of failed deployments with baked-in best practices, straightforward configuration, and a simple console UI with wizard-driven operations. 

 

Any device, any layer, at any time

SmartDeploy’s unique layered approach enables single image management of Windows OS and applications, regardless of manufacturer or model. SmartDeploy breaks up monolithic PC images into separate driver layers, OS layers, application layers, and user data layers to be deployed, upgraded, and managed independently from each other. Seamless console UI and user-friendly wizard-driven operations guide users through step-by-step wizards that simplify:

  • Building reference virtual machines.
  • Capturing images from a reference VM.
  • Creating answer files. 
  • Deploying images.

 

Countless platforms, fewer headaches

SmartDeploy Platform Packs are pre-built, downloadable device driver packages created by our team of experts. Platform Packs enable you to deploy one golden image to a variety of PCs. We build each Platform Pack by manufacturer, model, and OS type, so it only contains the necessary drivers and software to deploy SmartDeploy images to target computers (physical or virtual). There are more than 1500 Platform Packs for all major OEM, business class models, and they’re fully customizable, including running custom scripts or tasks such as updating the BIOS as a post image task. 

 

Straightforward application deployment

SmartDeploy’s Application Packs are files that contain all the information required to install individual software applications, execute scripts, and do other tasks automatically on SmartDeploy client devices:

  • Deploy, update, and patch applications within the application layer, in the OS layer, or both layers. 
  • Download an existing Application Pack in the SmartDeploy Application Library, or create and import your own. 
  • Install as part of the deployment, or pull it from a network server or cloud storage provider once the machine is imaged. 

 

End-to-end cloud deployment

SmartDeploy Cloud Services enables unattended, repeatable cloud deployment to remote users regardless of network connection or VPN access. 

Use Cloud Services to do the following:

  • Deploy Windows images, user data, Application Packs, and Platform Packs.
  • Leverage your existing Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, or OneDrive cloud resources. 
  • Schedule deployments for a later time or allow users to delay implementation. 
  • Troubleshoot and manage break-fix scenarios for remote endpoints.
