Symantec Ghost Solution Suite 2.5
 
Symantec Ghost™ Solution Suite 2.5 is the industry's most widely-used corporate solution for imaging, deployment, and ongoing management of client systems. It provides market proven and trusted hardware-independent imaging, multicast deployment, operating system migration, software distribution, PC "personality" migration (user data, settings, and profiles), hardware and software inventory, and secure system retirement.
 
Ghost Solution Suite for Servers 2.5. With this release, Symantec is officially extending the support of Ghost's industry-leading imaging capabilities to x86/x64 server platforms. Customers have always been interested in a version of Ghost for servers, but the additional capabilities in GSS 2.5, such as hardware independent imaging automation and VMDK image creation, are driving even higher demand for Ghost in this space. SMBs in particular, who often use a consolidated team to manage deployments of servers and PCs, will benefit from having a common set of tools to accomplish this work.
 
What is new in version 2.5
 
 
  • Create images that can effortlessly cross the line back and forth between virtualized and physical environments
  • Utilize a proven imaging and deployment engine even with images not created by Ghost.
  • Consolidate disk images
  • Create flexible corporate-wide hardware independent images that support a large variety of hardware configurations
  • Create images that can be easily updated and managed
  • Create more consistent images and automate the image creation process

 
 
How to license
 
Determine the total units required by your customer
 
Individual licenses must be purchased for each computer that will ever give or receive a Ghost image. Each corporate license allows IT staff to clone and restore one computer (workstation or server) for its entire lifetime, including unlimited re-applications, upgrades, refreshes, and recoveries of its hard drive. ONLY if a computer is permanently decommissioned can it's licensed image be transferred to another machine, without needing an additional license to restore the image.

Count the total number of unique images to be created using Symantec Ghost, and each image to be restored using Symantec Ghost. This is the total number of license units required by your customer. Each image created and each image restored equals one license.
 
Qualify your customer within a pricing band
 
Based upon the total units to be purchased on a single order, qualify your customer within a band level (A, B, C, etc). If your customer qualifies for F band pricing you may want to consider the Rewards Licensing Program.

You may also count the quantity associated with Maintenance to qualify the customer.
