Deep Freeze Mac Overview
About Deep Freeze
Deep Freeze Mac provides a completely non-restrictive working environment where there is no need
to be concerned about system damage or corruption; a simple restart eradicates all changes and ensures
that the standard system configuration is available at all times. All changes to a computer are temporary
for that working session, including installation or removal of software and application preference
configuration. The need for IT professionals to perform rebuilds, re-image, or troubleshoot computers
is eliminated, resulting in a reduction in IT expenditures and an increase in computer uptime.
