Feature
Centralized management of system images
Medulla is a management solution that automates the deployment of system images on all types of IT workstations.
Request a demo
The system image management solution enables IT teams to quickly, automatically, and centrally deploy operating systems and complete software configurations across a set of machines. It is based on customizable and reusable masters that are compatible with any hardware environment. Thanks to a conditional planning engine and advanced driver management, Medulla enables workstation standardization, faster deployments, and reduced installation time.
It supports unicast and multicast modes, adapts to multi-site contexts, and works directly with other modules (applications, configurations, users). Already used on more than 100,000 workstations, this open source solution is designed to meet the challenges of robustness, compliance, and time savings in distributed environments.
Features
Centralized management of system images
Creation of standardized system images
Complete capture of a typical workstation (OS + software + settings) for duplication.
Large-scale deployment
Applies a system image to multiple machines via unicast or multicast, depending on the sites and network capabilities.
Dynamic driver management
Automatically integrates the correct drivers based on the detected hardware.
Integration into the post-deployment process
Chain the image deployment with other actions (application installation, group assignment, audit).
Medulla > The steps
An administrator captures a reference machine as a template.
The image is stored in the Medulla repository with its associated profiles.
One or more machines are selected to receive the image.
Deployment is performed in unicast or multicast mode via the agent or a relay.
Post-imaging actions (scripts, installations, linking to an entity) are automatically applied.
Who is it for?
Centralized management of system images
Software Publishers & Integrators
They industrialize the installation phases, create preconfigured environments, and guarantee fast delivery times.
Small size and mid-size companies
Image creation enables rapid onboarding, consistency across workstations, and time savings with each machine change.
Public institutions and Large Group
In multi-site environments, multicast mode and relay management optimize bandwidth and ensure consistent deployments across hundreds of machines simultaneously.
Centralized management of system images > The benefits of the solution
Ultra-fast and reproducible deployment
Save time on each installed workstation while ensuring a unified standard.
Less errors and variations
All workstations are identical, with the same configurations, software, and security settings from the moment they are first connected.
Suitable for complex environments
Manages hardware diversity, network constraints, and business-specific requirements.
Integrated into the Medulla ecosystem
Follows on from other features (application deployment, attachment, monitoring, auditing).
Proven open source solution
Over 100,000 workstations already installed with this technology, without proprietary dependencies.
