FOG Project

FOG Project is an open-source computer imaging and deployment platform designed for system administrators, IT departments, educational institutions, enterprises, and organizations that need to efficiently manage and deploy operating systems across networked computers. FOG provides a centralized, web-based management interface for capturing, storing, cloning, and deploying disk images to desktops, laptops, and servers over a network. It uses network booting and imaging technologies to automate operating system deployment, system recovery, hardware management, and workstation provisioning without requiring physical installation media on every target computer. FOG supports scalable image management, PXE booting, multicast deployment, hardware inventory, host management, task scheduling, and automated deployment workflows, helping organizations reduce manual installation effort and efficiently maintain large collections of computers.
