Acronis Snap Deploy 3.0 Server

All private and public sector organizations (businesses, schools, federal/state/local governments, etc.) face increasing challenges when configuring and deploying new servers 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 Snap Deploy 3 for Servers is a comprehensive deployment solution that enables IT organizations to deploy or restore servers quickly and easily.

Using Acronis' award-winning disk imaging technology, Snap Deploy creates an exact disk image of the standard configuration, including the operating system and all applications. It then deploys that image to multiple systems simultaneously, making it ideal for rapid bare-metal installations.

IT support has the option to deploy new machines using both the multicast and unicast protocols, providing maximum flexibility and reducing implementation.

• Deploy to different hardware with Acronis Universal Deploy — Ensure that your new systems will boot by allowing you to add drivers and create templates for specific hardware.
• Fully automated deployment — New deployment options include Wake-on-LAN, deployment scheduling and a centralized management console to manage deployment tasks.
• Specialized deployment — Deploy both new and older systems using one solution.
• Standalone image deployment — Helps administrators to deploy systems even if network is not accessible.
• Customizable deployment options — Maximize the performance of new machines by allowing partitions to be resized. Ensure that machines are properly deployed by providing options to reboot or shutdown after the master image is applied.
• Enhanced PXE server — More easily create a PXE by specifying default configurations and timeout parameters for reboot.
• Fully compatible with Acronis Snap Deploy 2.0 and other Acronis products — Acronis Snap Deploy 3 for Servers is capable to deploy images created with Acronis Snap Deploy 2.0 and Acronis True Image Echo
