Faronics Deep Freeze Mac helps eliminate workstation damage and downtime by making computer configurations indestructible. Once Deep Freeze Mac is installed on a workstation, any changes made to the computer—regardless of whether they are accidental or malicious—are never permanent. Deep Freeze Mac provides immediate immunity from many of the problems that plague computers today—accidental system misconfiguration, malicious software activity, and incidental system degradation.

Deep Freeze Mac ensures computers are absolutely bulletproof, even when users have full access to system software and settings. Users get to enjoy a pristine and unrestricted computing experience, while IT personnel are freed from tedious helpdesk requests.

Balancing Security with Productivity

Deep Freeze Mac is the only solution that effectively balances workstation security with user productivity. By redirecting user and application data to a Thawed (unprotected) partition or drive, users are able to store their documents, pictures, music, etc., while still enjoying the total system consistency that Deep Freeze Mac offers.

Flexible Resiliency

Deep Freeze Mac offers flexible scheduling options that enable IT administrators to easily create automated update and maintenance periods. System updates on computers protected by Deep Freeze Mac can be easily scheduled through Apple Remote Desktop.
