Simplifying Energy and User State Management with the Casper Suite

IT Administrators have long struggled with the dilemma of how to deploy, update, activate and report on software from multiple vendors throughout an enterprise organization. The Casper Suite functions as a framework for IT ecosystems through which administrators can extend and automate enterprise products, unifying administration of Mac OS X software within a single console.

The Casper Suite readily integrates with many third-party developer solutions including Faronics Deep Freeze Mac, a product which ensures system integrity, and Faronics Power Save Mac, which intelligently manages power usage.

The Casper Suite allows IT administrators to quickly deliver and report on the status of their Power Save Mac and Deep Freeze Mac deployments, automating energy saving policies and ensuring that public computers are always returned to their approved state. Through a combination of automation, alerting and reporting, IT administrators are able to efficiently manage their environments and return immediate return on their investments through cost savings.
