VANCOUVER, Canada & SAN RAMON, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Faronics, a global leader in simplifying, securing and managing multi-user computer environments, announced today the release of Deep Freeze 7.7 – the latest version of its instant system restore solution.
“Deep Freeze 7.7 focuses on enhancing configuration management and incorporating Faronics Anti-Virus control into the Enterprise Console," said Heman Mehta, product management leader at Faronics. “In today’s economy, IT professionals are working with fewer resources and are looking for ways to manage applications more efficiently and effectively. IT teams can now manage both Deep Freeze and Faronics Anti-Virus from a single pane of glass, eliminating the need to setup yet another console in an already complex IT environment."

Manage Deep Freeze Configuration from Enterprise Console: Create
and apply new configurations from within the Enterprise Console,
without using the Configuration Administrator.
