Aiken Workbench integrates the capability of both creating and restoring Windows and Linux disk images through a Local Area Network. 

The Image Maker component creates images and stores them in a centralized image library, where they can be easily retrieved by machine model, installed operating system, and other descriptors. The images are fully disk-independent, meaning they can be restored to drives that are smaller or larger than the original, and across different interfaces and technologies (for example, SATA to NVMe, or HDD to SSD).

The same or different images can be deployed simultaneously to multiple machines in a fully unattended mode, using one or more Image Servers. For example, a basic Windows 11 image can be deployed to 20–23 machines in less than four minutes from a single image server. The Aiken Workbench architecture supports flexible setup options to optimize network bandwidth and avoid bottlenecks during large data transfers.

The image to be restored can be selected from the PC Auditor interface on each client, or centrally from the server and pushed to all connected PCs at once. Technicians can also choose to securely erase the drives before restoring the image, allowing the entire process to be completed automatically without further intervention. During both erasure and deployment, machines remain fully operational, so technicians can continue auditing or testing tasks in parallel.
