Faronics Cloud
Faronics Cloud, built on Deep Freeze Cloud, is Faronics' cloud-based computer management platform: protect, control, update and monitor Windows and Mac computers from one web console you can reach from anywhere, including the Deep Freeze Administrator mobile app. There is no management server to build, only a lightweight Cloud Relay inside your network and a Cloud Agent on each computer.
When cloud fits
- You manage many sites or remote locations without on-site IT staff
- You want to avoid building and maintaining a management server
- You need a faster rollout and remote control of devices
- Your estate mixes Windows and Mac, with mobile devices to manage as well
