SystemImager was created by Brian Elliott Finley, who continues to maintain it as the team lead.
SystemImager is software that automates Linux installs, software distribution, and production deployment. SystemImager makes it easy to do automated installs (clones), software distribution, content or data distribution, configuration changes, and operating system updates to your network of Linux machines. You can even update from one Linux release version to another!
It can also be used to ensure safe production deployments. By saving your current production image before updating to your new production image, you have a highly reliable contingency mechanism. If the new production enviroment is found to be flawed, simply roll-back to the last production image with a simple update command!
Some typical environments include: high performance clusters, Internet server farms, database server farms, computer labs, and corporate desktop environments.
