Deep Freeze
Faronics Deep Freeze provides advanced system
integrity. Every time you restart your computer, Deep Freeze restores the
machine back to its desired configuration.

Faronics Deep Freeze Enterprise makes PCs indestructible. It protects
endpoints by Freezing the desired configuration set by you – the IT
professional. Any unwelcome or unwanted changes users make while in-session
are prevented from sticking. It’s really simple. By restarting your
computers, systems are returned to the desired state. Meanwhile, user data
can be stored safely on a network drive or in a ThawSpace to be retained
across reboots. This helps machines run smoothly and efficiently, while
giving you more up-time and boosting user productivity. The built-in Deep
Freeze Enterprise Console or Core Console makes life even easier.
Deep Freeze’s central management capabilities
allow you to enjoy the benefits of customizing, deploying, and managing Deep
Freeze on your endpoints from one central location. Need to manage Windows
Updates? Simply download them while Frozen and they’re automatically applied
when machines are Thawed. Once the process is finished, machines are
automatically returned to their Frozen state.
Since Deep Freeze ensures 100% workstation
recovery with every restart, you can watch that mountain of support tickets
shrink. Customers report an average reduction of 63%. You can also forget
about disk protection, accidental configuration changes, malicious software,
and operating system degradation. Now you and your IT staff can get more
sleep, worry less, and maybe even leave the office on time once in a while.
- Customized
configuration makes setting up Faronics Deep
Freeze for your unique environment a breeze. Using the
Deep Freeze Configuration Administrator, you can specify
multiple passwords, select drives to be Frozen, create
ThawSpaces to save data, create workstation tasks,
schedule maintenance and set advanced networks. You can
also create multiple customized installers with
different configurations.
- Easy deployment
is made possible with several options. In
addition to deploying Deep Freeze as part of your
imaging solution, you can deploy Deep Freeze as a Silent
Install natively either as an .exe or as a .msi by using
our
Deep Freeze MSI Packager. And you can also use the
Deep Freeze Console to deploy.
- Central
management makes it easy to deploy, configure,
and manage Deep Freeze. All you need to do is use the
robust Enterprise Console or Core Console included
free of charge. Or use the comprehensive built-in
Command Line Interface to manage Deep Freeze from within
the most popular desktop management systems such as
Microsoft SCCM, Dell KACE, Spiceworks, and Symantec
Altiris. Check out our
Integration Page.
- Enhanced
security is rolled into Faronics Deep Freeze
with protection for the master boot record (MBR) from
rootkit injections, making your security bulletproof.
The Customization Code ensures that unauthorized
administrators are prevented from accessing or
controlling a computer that runs Deep Freeze.
Administrators can also assign up to 15 passwords or
create One-Time passwords that will expire after a
single use on the workstation.
- Windows updates
are even easier to automate with Deep Freeze. Now you
can automatically download windows updates even when
machines are Frozen. Cached updates are applied as soon
as the machines are Thawed, which means Windows Updates
are much faster. Forget about setting maintenance window
completion times, since Deep Freeze just got even
smarter! It can now detect when updates are complete and
automatically returns the computer back to a Frozen
state.
- Retain data
across reboots by redirecting both user and application
data to storage space on non-system or network drives.
Or create virtual storage drives called ThawSpaces –
it’s entirely up to you. Data retained in a ThawSpace or
a Thawed drive is not erased upon reboot even when the
computer is in a Frozen state. Or try using the
complementary
Faronics Data Igloo that allows you to redirect data
for storage.

something corrupt, visited a poisoned site, or made some other type of
accidental change, there’s no need to worry. With Deep Freeze installed,
when things go awry, simply reboot the machine and it will be returned to
its desired configuration.
- Enhance your security with
a solution that makes your computer immune to common problems like malware
and accidental changes. In addition to securing your operating system, Deep

your security truly bulletproof.
