Paragon Deployment Manager Selected by Insight Investments

Paragon
Software Group’s Deployment Manager was selected by Insight Investments, LLC, system
integrators based in California, as a reliable and scalable software to
simplify the imaging process of tens of thousands of laptops for use in
educational institutions across the country.

"About 70% of our business is with
K-12 school districts as well as universities," said Jay Johnson, VP
of operations, Insight Investments. "Each
district has 10 to 45 schools. They come to us to purchase refurbished laptops
in bulk. The schools send us a copy of the image they want duplicated onto
their machines; a typical image includes the OS, applications and 50 to 60GB of data. Before implementing Paragon’s Deployment Manager, the
process was tedious requiring the removal of each laptop’s HDD for imaging; now
we can reimage the machines without disassembling them and connecting the HDD to
a duplicator."

Deployment Manager is a deployment solution for
servers, workstations, laptops, and tablets, enabling the deployment of a
master image to thousands of systems simultaneously, multicast, or manually to
individual machines, unicast. One key feature of the software is its ability to
deploy the same image to machines with different hardware, which simplifies the
deployment project. Furthermore, it offers pre- and post-deploy configuration
options, a scripting engine for automated and remote operation, and
customizable Linux and WinPE-based boot media.

"Needing to simplify our laptop
deployment process, we looked at all leading deployment solutions and decided
to go with Paragon’s Deployment Manager," said project manager Calvin
Yeung. "Having worked with Paragon
Software in the past, I knew they would be a great partner for our project.
Their technology has been proven to meet the most demanding requirements. Their
technical support team always follows through and is very responsive."

"We are excited to welcome Insight
Investments to the Paragon family," said Tom Fedro. "Deployment Manager is the perfect solution
for any system integrator or IT department that needs to deploy images quickly,
efficiently and in MA."
