What is Neoware Image Manager?

Introduction

CHAPTER 1
This chapter introduces Neoware Image Manager and describes
the scope of this User Manual.
Neoware Image Manager delivers operating systems and applica-
tions on-demand from your server to PCs or thin clients. The server
is used as a virtual disk drive, so clients do not require a hard disk
or flash memory. All application processing is done by the client.
A single software image containing the operating system, applica-
tion and hardware drivers for multiple hardware platforms can be
streamed on-demand to any PC or thin client - regardless of the
device's hardware configuration. PC and thin client users keep
their personal configurations and settings, and their data remains
unique and secure on the server.
Using Neoware Image Manager you can easily manage multiple
images from a graphical interface representing client desktops,
groups of desktops and their related hard disk images (volumes).
You centrally manage images and define each client's virtual
drives in just a few mouse clicks.
Changes are made to a single image on the server.
