It does so by providing a mountable, encryptable, cross-platform file for the storage of data and documents. It is comparable to a USB drive in that is mounted as a drive letter in Windows Explorer and appears in the Devices list within the Mac Finder. It utilizes an easy-to-use interface that allows you to interact with the utility as you would any removable drive; then simply “eject” when done. The same file may be mounted on both Windows and Mac systems to allow access to file and folder structures identically on both platforms. The drive may be encrypted with a passphrase to provide security for sensitive data, and it has the ability to expand and shrink automatically, so that it makes efficient use of storage resources. Whether used to email files or share them on a network, or just for simple storage and backup, this cross platform solution to securing and managing files has many uses....2011-09-09T09:00:00-05:00http://www.appdeploy.com/downloads/detail.asp?id=4726The Secure Browser uses virtualization technology to provide a safer web experience to users and organizations. When using the Secure Browser any changes or malicious files inadvertently downloaded from the Internet are contained within the secure browser, keeping the underlying OS and computer secure from hostile changes. Any changes resulting from browser activity may be quickly and easily reset to effectively “undo” such changes and return it to its initially installed state. This makes it much easier to clean a system and bring the user back to full productivity. Secure Browsers also offer the option of specifying “white” and “black” lists to control what processes may be started or what sites may be visited. Limiting browser use to specific sites can control usage and protect from cross site scripting attacks. By specifying which sites are to be blocked, it makes it easy to keep users away from known bad sites, and thereby limit their exposure to attacks. In controlling what processes may be started, the browser will not run programs or plug-ins without permission to do so, which allows for the prevention of many attacks before they can even be initiated....2012-01-04T09:00:00-05:00http://www.appdeploy.com/downloads/detail.asp?id=4727Getting a quick look at all of a computer's details in one clean report can be valuable in the event it should become lost or damaged. The System Inventory Tool scans your computer and generates a detailed hardware and software inventory report that can be saved or printed for future reference. Additional scenarios where a system inventory can be helpful are the ability to determine compatibility with new operating systems, and in identifying any changes to a system that might highlight problems. The System Inventory Tool addresses these needs by providing a Windows compatibility report, measuring the local system against minimum and recommended system requirements for various versions of the Windows operating system. Also valuable, the System Inventory Tool remembers details about a computer and compares them with the previous version when a new report is run. This helps to clearly show any changes made to the system since the prior inventory report was generated....2012-01-27T09:00:00-05:00http://www.appdeploy.com/downloads/detail.asp?id=4728The AppDeploy Repackager is a Windows Installer repackaging tool for converting legacy setups to the Windows Installer (MSI) format. Windows Installer setups offer many great administrative benefits including extensive command line support, self-healing, detailed logging and even roll back of changes in the event of an installation error. For these benefits and more it is common among administrators to migrate legacy setups to Windows Installer format, but doing so can be a challenging task requiring training and expensive tools. The AppDeploy Repackager is designed to be as simple to use as possible. In addition to generating an MSI setup, it also produces a sharable recipe file that can be safely shared with others online without risk of including personally identifiable information or license details. ...2012-01-27T09:00:00-05:00http://www.appdeploy.com/tools/detail.asp?id=273Qunetix ESD is a cost effective and easy-to-use deployment solution for heterogeneous networks.
