About the KACE Systems Deployment Appliance

The Quest KACE Systems Deployment Appliance provides a network-centric solution for capturing and deploying images. The appliance a seamless cross-platform imaging solution from a single Administrator Console enabling you to provision Microsoft® Windows® and Apple® Mac® platforms. You can deploy the configuration files, user states, and applications as an image to a single device or to multiple devices simultaneously.

The appliance provides the tools necessary to automate deployments in both homogeneous and heterogeneous hardware environments, and provides reliability of large-scale image deployments with multicast and task engine capabilities. The built-in driver feed automatically downloads Quest driver models, and the Package Management feature enables uploading third-party driver packages. You can also integrate the appliance with the KACE Systems Management Appliance to image the KACE Systems Management Appliance inventory. The KACE Systems Deployment Appliance is available as a virtual appliance.

About the appliance components

About the appliance components

The appliance components that support image deployments include a virtual appliance, a utility to build boot environments, a Support Portal, and a virtual Remote Site Appliance (RSA) to network remote boot devices.

The appliance has the following components:

Option	Description
Virtual appliance	The KACE Systems Deployment Appliance is available as a virtual appliance. It uses a VMware or Microsoft Hyper-V infrastructure. For technical specifications, visit https://support.quest.com/kace-systems-deployment-appliance/technical-documents.
Command-Line Console	The Command-Line Console is a terminal window interface to the appliance. The interface is designed primarily to configure the appliance network settings.
Administrator Console	The Administrator Console is the web-based interface used to navigate the appliance. To access the Administrator Console, go to http://<appliance_hostname>/admin where <appliance_hostname> is the host name of your appliance.
Support Portal	The Support Portal is the web-based interface that enables you to submit tickets to request help or to report issues. You can also to test network connectivity, and enable Quest KACE Technical Support to temporarily access your appliance to troubleshoot issues.
KACE Media Manager	A utility that builds boot environments, uploads the operating system source files, and provides access to the Windows User State Migration Tool (USMT) to upload user profiles the appliance.
Remote Site Appliance (RSA)	Uses the KACE Systems Deployment Appliance license to link a virtual Remote Site Appliances (RSA) that enables you to network remote boot devices. Remote Site Appliances are read only.
