Acronis® Snap Deploy® 2.0 for PC's
All private and public sector organizations (businesses, schools, federal/state/local
governments, etc.) face increasing challenges when configuring and deploying new
PC’s and workstations in a distributed environment. Having a deployment solution
that enables them to use a standard configuration for a new machine will significantly
decrease support expenses. According to a recent study by Wipro Technologies,
organizations can cut their annual desktop support costs by more than half (55 per
cent) by standardizing their PC configurations.
1. Create a standard configuration image, including the operating system, applications, and
other settings
2. Create a bootable media diskette or CD, an ISO image, or RIS boot package or configure a
Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) with Acronis Snap Deploy agents
3. Boot the bare PCs you want to deploy with the bootable media, or PXE, enabling the bare
systems to connect to the main deployment server
4. Deployment server begins transfer of the standard configuration to the bare system.
Systems are deployed when the transferred image is applied to the target system
and the system is booted for the first time. No installation of the operating system or
applications is required - the image contains everything the system needs to run
