Our vision at Dell KACE is to provide an appliance-based approach to OS deployment, to create time for systems management professionals, while saving money for their companies. Dell KACE appliances are available as both physical and virtual appliances.

Why Choose the KACE Deployment Appliance?

The KACE Deployment Appliance delivers a fully integrated systems provisioning solution, unlike traditional OS deployment software solutions, which typically require complex and time-consuming deployment or do not fully automate systems provisioning. Manually provisioning systems with point imaging products or internally developed scripts can be a costly and time-consuming process, while traditional software only systems management solutions may have proven too expensive and complex for many organizations. The KACE Deployment Appliance breaks the complexity and cost barrier by utilizing an appliance-based architecture.
