SmartDeploy by PDQ

Product Details
- Overview
-
SmartDeploy by PDQ is a Windows imaging and endpoint-deployment platform that separates a standardized operating-system image from model-specific drivers, applications, and user data. District IT teams can capture a reference virtual machine and deploy it to different PC models through network, USB, console-initiated, or supported cloud workflows.
The product helps technology departments refresh labs, prepare replacement devices, recover failed endpoints, and deploy applications or drivers without maintaining a separate monolithic image for every hardware model. Districts should validate Platform Packs, Windows versions, licensing, bandwidth, cloud-storage access, deployment credentials, and post-build security baselines.
- Features
-
Hardware-independent imaging
- Uses a centralized Windows image with downloadable or customized Platform Packs for model-specific drivers and firmware-related tasks.
- Reference images can be captured from virtual machines and reused across supported business-class devices.
Flexible deployment- Supports console-initiated, network, PXE/WDS, USB, offline-media, and cloud-connected deployment methods according to configuration.
- Answer files and deployment packages automate device-specific setup.
Applications and endpoint upkeep- Deploys Application Packs, scripts, software, drivers, and selected Windows updates before or after imaging.
- Districts should coordinate SmartDeploy with their authoritative inventory, endpoint-management, identity, and security systems.
