Cloud Platform



Deep Freeze Cloud has now become the platform where will you find Deep Freeze and a range of other products. All work together and can be all controlled within the Cloud console. Most of the existing On-Premise products have been redesigned to work within the Cloud Platform - and additional exclusive Cloud products have been developed. Most products can be purchased individually and many together as a bundle. All products for Cloud are based on a yearly subscription. The price calculator details all individual and bundled products. The comparison page lists what is included with each product and bundles. Here is the Cloud Brochure.

Deep Freeze Cloud is hosted on Amazon AWS.
The menu to the left is the main policy menu found within the Deep Freeze Cloud platform.
Each product is listed and to the left of the product names are the bundle names of Basic, Premium or Ultimate - each one showing which products are included with the particular bundle.
Products that are purchased will be made available to the customer within the Cloud platform. MDM and Campus Affairs are listed elsewhere in the interface.

You can set multiple policies within multiple sites and multiple administrators with customisable dashboards.

Dashboard


Naming convention:
The cloud platform is called Deep Freeze Cloud. The product hosted in the cloud is called Deep Freeze. It may also be referred to as Deep Freeze Cloud, or Deep Freeze on Cloud, or Deep Freeze Cloud Basic.
Deep Freeze Premium bundle and Deep Freeze Ultimate bundle consist of Deep Freeze plus additional cloud software hosted within the Deep Freeze Cloud platform.


The Deep Freeze name in the Deep Freeze Cloud platform refers to Deep Freeze software itself. This is now fully available within the Cloud. For existing customers this is most similar to the Administrator and Console of Deep Freeze Enterprise (On Premise) now available in the Cloud platform. This provides many advantages:

  • No need for any hardware (nor technical skills) to host Console(s) as you do with On Premise
  • Cloud is the focus for development by Faronics for all new features
  • Additional software packages that are only available via the Cloud
  • Ease of remote networking, especially for branch offices
  • One single console for all your sites. View both Mac and Win clients in the one console
  • Dashboard & Reports
  • Some jurisdictions require a Cloud first or Cloud only approach to software purchasing
    •

Workstations continue to have the patented Reboot to Restore function of the Deep Freeze workstation software installed locally. These workstations are controlled via the Cloud console. As such, workstations require internet access for them to connect to Deep Freeze Cloud. The cost for Deep Freeze Cloud is calculated by the total number of clients that you wish to manage within Deep Freeze Cloud, on a subscription basis.

Deep Freeze Cloud is the same Deep Freeze software for all versions hosted in the Cloud.
Deep Freeze Cloud - Basic bundle is offered as Deep Freeze software on it's own. With the Deep Freeze Premium bundle or Deep Freeze Ultimate bundle, you are offered additional software packages along with Deep Freeze. These bundles are described in the following tab, titled Cloud Control - PC. You can choose which additional software products you would like to add with Deep Freeze - Basic bundle. Deep Freeze Mac is an optional additional purchase. Anti-Virus Cloud is an optional additional purchase. Licensing is subscription based for all Cloud products.

Cloud Connector



For existing Deep Freeze Enterprise On Premise customers who wish to move to the Cloud can do so easily via purchase of the Cloud Connector. This provides for a hybrid Cloud & On Premise solution where both the local Enterprise Console and Cloud Consoles can operate.

If an existing Deep Freeze Enteprise On Premise customer wishes to move directly to the Cloud platform this is referred to as moving to pure Cloud. This requires the removal of the local Deep Freeze Enterprise workstation installer files on the local workstations in favour of the Cloud agent local workstation installer. This is known as 'starting from scratch'. If an existing Deep Freeze Enterprise customer purchases Cloud Connector, there is no need to de-install the local workstation installer and you can operate with the hybrid Cloud solution. This is one of the advantages of Cloud Connector.

Cloud Connector is a subscription service and customers are required to keep their Deep Freeze Enterprise Maintenance valid. Cloud Connector is available for both Deep Freeze Standard and Deep Freeze Enteprise and is available in the same Premium (only available for Standard) and Ultimate bundles as Deep Freeze Cloud bundles.

Deep Freeze Mac Cloud
Deep Freeze Mac Cloud acts simarlarly to Deep Freeze Mac On Premise however the Console is now in the Cloud allowing for full management of both Windows and Macintosh clients in the same Cloud interface. Deep Freeze Mac Cloud is an optional additional purchase and is a subscription license.
