Unlike other solutions, KACE was purpose-built for growing mid-market organizations, so it does not need expensive professional services, dedicated hardware or heavily trained staff to function effectively. In fact, its integrated architecture enables most organizations to realize complete system implementation in less than two weeks.
Once in place, your KACE appliance will quickly deliver value. Its automation capabilities reduce complexity, improve accuracy and reliability, and free your IT staff to focus on other high-priority projects. For example, you can remotely deploy an OS to hundreds of machines at a time, and easily perform pre- and post-installation tasks such as formatting drives, applying computer names and distributing applications.
“The KACE Systems Deployment Appliance allowed us to create standard images for our desktop and laptop models. And it has been tremendously easy for us to deploy those images, so now we have a standard platform across the district.”
