Binary Research International Launches New Webinar Series

Milwaukee, WI, February 06, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Binary Research International (BRI), part of the company that originally developed Ghost (now owned by Symantec Corporation), has announced the launch of an online training program on the topic of Hardware-Independent Imaging.

Working with VMWare, Symantec’s Ghost Solution Suite, DeployAnywhere, Microsoft Deployment Toolkit and Big Bang’s Universal Imaging Utility, the series of four, 90-minute webinars increases participants’ understanding of the benefits of hardware-independent Images (HII’s) and best practices for achieving HI Image files, while teaching them how to effectively use these tools to create HII’s.

“We at BRI know the cloning space well, having spent over a decade bringing innovative network imaging software and training to the IT industry,” said Annette Dow, chief executive officer of Binary Research International.

“The concept of Hardware-Independent (HI) Imaging is simple: it’s the process of creating a master clone (or Image) of one machine that can then be successfully deployed to multiple machines, regardless of the configuration of the target machine,” Dow continued. “Most Windows-based imaging products are now claiming the ability to create HI Images and frankly, there’s a lot of confusion in the industry around which products really achieve what results. Our new webinar series enables IT personnel to quickly learn about HI Image creation.”

The webinars consist of a visual portion conducted via web conference and an audio portion conducted via teleconference. Participants see and hear the procedures being undertaken and are provided with the documentation to allow them to implement the procedures in their own test environment as the trainer presents them. Participants may ask live questions during and at the end of each webinar.

“Not only does this program provide a unique learning opportunity for IT personnel, our delivery format also takes account of the fact that many travel budgets have been frozen and with the downsizing of IT teams, time away from the office is not an option,” Dow added. “It’s a win/win situation – they get the skills while sitting in their office and the skills enable them to minimize the number of Image files they need to maintain, thus saving significant time, energy and resources.”
