Media Contact: Michigan Tech Expands Use of the Universal Imaging Utility Software Additional Purchase Triples Number of Licensed Computers MILWAUKEE, Wis., June 23, 2009 - Binary Research International (BRI), the authority on software cloning and migration since 1997 and part of the company that created the industry-leading cloning solution now known as Symantec Ghost, today announced that Michigan Technological University has significantly increased their use of the Universal Imaging Utility (UIU). The UIU works alongside existing hard-drive imaging software to enable IT departments to streamline their system rollouts and deployments. At Michigan Tech, the UIU is now used in The College of Engineering and The School of Technology. "We recently merged our computer support infrastructure. The merge included nine departments with various Dell and HP hardware platforms totaling 1,500 lab and faculty\staff PCs," said System Administrator Tim Ryan. "During the merge I discovered other computer support staff had been hand-installing drivers on numerous heterogeneous PC images." After reviewing their options and analyzing the various solutions available, Michigan Tech proceeded with expanding their use of the UIU to include all the computers in the merged departments. "As a system administrator I had been using the Universal Imaging Utility for three years in my department and found it to be an invaluable, time-saving utility", Ryan explained. "Once again UIU will play an important role in our PC image deployment process at Michigan Tech." The UIU, introduced in 2004 by Big Bang LLC and distributed exclusively by Binary Research International, is designed to work with leading Windows hard drive cloning and data back-up software solutions such as Symantec Ghost, Altiris Migration Suite, Novell ZENworks, Acronis True Image, WDS, ImageX, SCCM and others. The UIU makes it possible for these programs to create a single hard disk copy or Image that will work with a wide range of computer makes, models and configurations (including Laptops). Deploying this clean Image can be the fastest and best way to clean up computers compromised by viruses, spyware, bad drivers and bad data. Licensing for the UIU is per-seat and is based on the number of computers receiving an Image prepared with the UIU.
