Symantec Ghost Solution Suite 2.5 is the system management, imaging and deployment solution for migration of OS, along with applications and settings.
Symantec Ghost Solution Suite 2.5 is a platform-independent software that images and mirrors all disk contents making migration to a newer hardware easy and seamless.
Imaging is performed on a file- and sector-basis enabling administrators to retire their old hardware security while moving systems and settings onto a new hardware running both Linux and Windows.
Symantec Ghost Solution Suite 2.5 supports Windows Vista.
This suite uses a central management console enabling administrators to manage the network-connected desktops from a single location reducing administrative overhead. Systems, applications and settings can be restored on a remote PC without physical intervention. Migration tasks can also be executed by a remote administrator.
Symantec Ghost Solution Suite 2.5 provides more efficient management of software in Linux and MS Windows environments allowing to create backup images, archive and restore user settings and files. Ghost Solution Suite delivers system cloning, and migration facilities at a reduced cost and complexity.
Administrator can refresh systems and restore availability of machines when a hardware or software failure occurs and files can be easily accessed and managed from in the mirror image created.
Symantec Ghost Solution Suite 2.5 delivers file wiping features that are compliant with the U.S. Department of Defense Standard 5220.22-M that provides guidelines for deleting data on disposed computers.
