| New Case Study: Faronics Deep Freeze and the University of Nevada - Reno | |
Deep Freeze has allowed us to more effectively allocate time for our IT teams," says UNR`s Vice President, Steven Zink. "We`re saving hours everyday that would have been used to reinstall and uninstall software on the hundreds of computers our department maintains." Deep Freeze`s positive effects on UNR`s shared computing experience are tangible. Students are safer and enjoy a smoother computing experience. Teachers can install software on computers without interfering with the instruction of a following class. Most importantly, the computer labs can continue to function without strict tech-placed, mobility limiting restrictions on users. Learn more about how Deep Freeze is benefiting UNR.
