How Does VDI Blaster™ Work?
VDI Blaster™ works in different ways.
Dual boot with Windows XP
VDI Blaster™ can be used without taking the risk to erase your existing Windows installation. To install VDI Blaster™, just execute the installer on the PC you want to repurpose. After installation, the PC reboots by default in thin client mode, running Devon IT’s Terminal Operating System (DeTOS™) version 7.1.
In this mode, repurposed PCs can be managed with Devon IT’s Echo™ Thin Client Management Software. But it is still possible to reboot repurposed PCs in Windows XP mode and uninstall DeTOS 7.1 to return the PC to its initial configuration (with Windows XP as the only OS).
USB Boot
VDI Blaster™ can be installed using a USB flash drive. This is very useful to test compatibility with your PC before “blasting” it.
Users can also perform a full hard drive installation.
