Time Test
Dan Ecker with MicroHouse was at a tech show (Integrate). During the show he did a test of of MultiCast with one controller and 24 PCs. He installed Windows 95 and Office 97 on his Controller, Time 1:15. He then multicasted that image to 24 PCs simultaneously, Time 8 minutes.

ImageCast is clearly superior
  1. ImageCast is the first software to multicast simultaneously to multiple machines at a time
  2. Our competitors do not multicast.
  3. Automatic .SID creator when multicasting to Windows NT on FAT partitions.
  4. Compression is better which means the roll out takes less time and less space on the hard drive.
  5. Easy Graphical User Interface that enables the user to schedule a roll out without changing the batch files.
