Streamlining System Deployment for Modern IT Needs
In today’s dynamic IT environments, businesses, government agencies, and educational institutions face the challenge of quickly configuring new PCs to be ready for immediate use. With the scheduled end of Windows 10 support in October 2025 and the ongoing demands of telework and office relocations, IT administrators require efficient solutions to meet these needs, even amid labor shortages and restricted workspace.
About Actiphy Rapid Deploy
Actiphy Rapid Deploy addresses these challenges by creating a bootable image of a pre-configured source PC, allowing deployment to multiple new PCs through a network or USB. The tool leverages Actiphy’s proprietary TCP-SlideCast technology, enabling high-speed image deployment across numerous target PCs with minimal server and network load. Actiphy Rapid Deploy includes two essential components:
- Deploy Media Creator: Aids in creating a bootable image of a pre-configured source PC.
- ImageCast Server: Broadcasts the image across the network to multiple PCs simultaneously.
Key Features of Actiphy Rapid Deploy
- PXE Boot for Client PCs: The new PXE Server feature in ImageCast Server allows network-based booting and deployment of the source image to client PCs. Using iPXE technology, Actiphy Rapid Deploy ensures faster PXE boot speeds than traditional TFTP protocols.
- Redundant Deployment, Remote Boot, and Shutdown Capabilities: Administrators can redeploy source images to previously imaged PCs, ideal for classrooms or environments requiring periodic reinitialization. ImageCast Server’s console enables remote booting, redeployment, and shutdown of client PCs. The built-in DHCP server supports PXE Boot via Wake-on-LAN, even when a local DHCP server is unavailable.
