Case Study: Haywood Engineering College keeps netbooks secure and maintenance-free with Faronics Deep Freeze

Haywood Engineering College - Customer Case Study

Haywood Engineering College, a high school specializing in engineering, faced a challenge in maintaining the optimal condition of its fleet of 190 student netbooks that were frequently taken off-site. The school's IT team, led by Network Manager Andy Tudor Nash, needed an automated and low-maintenance solution to prevent system changes and damage, as diagnosing and repairing each fault was a time-consuming logistical problem. They turned to vendor Faronics for a solution.

Faronics implemented its Deep Freeze solution, which made the netbooks resilient to all user changes by reverting them to their original settings upon every restart. This eliminated issues caused by spyware, malware, viruses, and accidental configuration changes. The results were significant, as the IT team no longer needed to check the netbooks daily and completely avoided the time-consuming process of re-imaging machines, allowing them to do more with less.
