ACRONIS SNAP DEPLOY 3 - FOR WORKSTATION User manual

Acronis®Snap Deploy®3
for PCs
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.
Acronis has a solution to address this need. Acronis Snap Deploy is a comprehensive
deployment solution that enables organizations to deploy new PCs and workstations
quickly and easily. Using disk-imaging technology that creates a copy of an entire hard
disk drive, including the operating system and all applications, it is ideal for rapid
bare-metal installations of PCs and workstations.
