Managing today’s increasingly heterogeneous enterprise environments of connected and mobile PCs poses major challenges for IT managers. Primary among them is the need to control the costs of setting up new PCs, migrating user desktop settings, and deploying OS and application upgrades and updates. By enabling the remote management of routine tasks such as PC deployment, cloning, changes in configuration settings, user migration, and backup and recovery of disk images, Symantec Ghost streamlines the configuration and management of networked PCs, thereby dramatically reducing IT costs.
