Product Description

BruteOS, our flag ship product, manages complete desktop and laptop provisioning. From bare metal to fully installed operating systems, applications and patches.

BruteOS enables you to downsize your current desktop management system to a centralized configuration, and eliminates the need for local or remote distribution servers without the disadvantages of centralized networks. BruteOS leverages our federated distribution technology (DBx) which enables every computer in your IT landscape to act as a client and/or server. Distribution of Operating System images, application packages, and patches are transmitted once over the WAN, and are then shared between computers on the LAN via our DBx connections.

The flexibility of BruteOS allows for complete unattended bare metal installs of desktops and laptops, complete reinstallation of existing equipment, distribution of entire applications and patches, irrespective of operating systems or platforms.

The efficiency and speed of BruteOS, removes the need to distribute and install applications and patches outside of normal working hours. Distribution of software is now completed in minutes instead of hours. Our innovative and unique DBx technology enables users to switch their computers off or on any time during software distribution. This key feature provides flexibility to the end user without affecting the desktop management process.

In addition to the efficiencies gained through using our products, IT organizations are able to remove remote distribution servers which translate into significant cost savings and lowers energy consumption.

Our solution is available as a standalone software distribution solution; or as an amplification of your existing desktop management system.

BruteOS truly delivers the answers to the daily challenges IT organizations are facing in provisioning computers, deployment and upgrading of applications, as well as the distribution and management of patches.
