CYBER CAFÉ IMPLEMENTATION Thomas Daniel Nalley CEN Major at EKU
OUTLINE • Create an image • “Pull” an image • Cast an image • Symantec Ghost Suite • Clonezilla • Deepfreeze • SteadyState
MOTIVATION • Imaging is a part of my job • Been doing it for a while • A lot of people aren’t familiar with imaging
INTRODUCTION • Wanting to implement a computer lab or cyber café type environment • Researched freeware similar to Synmatec Ghost and Deep Freeze • Clonezilla and SteadyState • Also, Virtual Box
PROBLEM STATEMENT • Computer labs have high traffic • A lot of chances for viruses, spyware, malware, etc • Updates can sometime mess up system functionality • Need a solution to help lower downtime and
PROPOSED SOLUTION • Possible solutions to these problems: • Prevent users from downloading or visiting possible attacking sites • Use of Deep freeze / Steady state to revert any changes that are made • If a manual update to the computer from a trusted website cause hardware or software conflicts • Use of imaging to prevent lengthy downtime
PROPOSED SOLUTION (cont.) • Use of imaging software and preventative software • Implementation is a breeze, easy software to install and use • Little to no training required • Easy to test and troubleshoot • Results are noticed almost instantly
RESULTS • Very simple to use • Very straight forward design on all products used • Anyone in IT is sure to use this • Anyone in our Major can benefit from this software
DEEPFREEZE • Deepfreeze prevents new programs or files to be installed on the harddrive unless you allow access to certain folders • Can allow updates for operating system, anti-virus, etc at a certain time of day
CONCLUSIONS • Results are very apparent over time • Use of Synmatec Ghost/Deepfreeze over Clonezilla/Steadystate is probably more likely in a business • Also practical for a family computer • Imaging is the way to go in a computer lab or cyber café environment
FUTURE WORK • Possibly faster imaging standards or even more linux base freeware • Invite audience for suggestions • Thank you for your time! • Daniel.Nalley@gmail.com
