Internet connection is not required on the destination workstations.
Downloading and installing pre-requisite packs and other required software on the workstations is not required.
The installation and other paths can be set in the deployment image. This results in the product installed to and configured to use the same paths on all workstations.
The features and companion applications to be installed are selected when creating deployment image. This results in all workstations having exactly the same installed components.
