Blue View Imaging

Image a fleet from one place.

Blue View Imaging captures a machine's disk over the network and deploys it to as many others as you need. No agent to preinstall, no media to carry, no per-seat licence.

Capture

Boot a reference machine over the network and take its disk as a master image. Nothing is installed on the machine to do it.

Deploy

Send that image to one machine or a room full of them. Multicast puts the same image on many machines in the time one would take.

Manage

Register hosts, schedule imaging and maintenance windows, and push software packages to machines after they come up.

How it works

A machine with no operating system on it can still be told what to become. That is the whole trick, and it is older than the cloud.

How network imaging works A client powers on and asks the network how to boot. DHCP points it at the Blue View Imaging server, which sends a boot environment. The client then either uploads its disk as a master image or downloads one to write. Client powers on, no OS DHCP points at the server Imaging server boot menu, images asks boots disk captured up, or an image written down

Why run it yourself

Runs on your network

It is your server, your storage, and your images. Nothing leaves the building, and nothing depends on a vendor's cloud staying up.

Branded as yours

The console carries your organization's name, mark, and colors. Configuration, not a custom build -- so upgrades stay ordinary.

An open foundation

Built on FOG Project and licensed GPLv3. You can read every line, and the source comes with the software.

Works air-gapped

An imaging server often sits on an isolated VLAN. This one expects that, down to documentation that ships alongside it.

Built on FOG Project

Blue View Imaging is a commercial distribution of FOG Project, licensed under the GNU General Public License v3. That means the engine underneath is open, auditable, and not going anywhere — and that anyone we ship software to receives its source. Blue View is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the FOG Project.
