Acronis acronis snap deploy 3 Manual

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This chapter gives a general idea of how an IT department can meet various real life challenges using 
the Acronis Snap Deploy. 

 

 

Acronis Snap Deploy is a flexible, efficient software solution for deployment of a fully configured 
operating system (with or without application software and any other data) to multiple computers. 

Because the product uses disk imaging technology, it is ideal for rapid bare-metal installations and 

flexible centralized provisioning. 

 

 
Acronis Snap Deploy is primarily designed to be used by:  

Small and medium-size businesses:  

-  IT service providers  

-  Hardware retailers 

IT departments of larger corporations    
Schools and universities 

R&D and software testing labs. 

 

The enterprise features added to Acronis Snap Deploy v 3 (scheduled deployment, support for 

Preinstallation Environment, command line and scripting, to name a few) can help automate the tasks 

of the IT department in large enterprise environments. 
 

 

Components of the Acronis infrastructure are installed on Windows computers. Centralized imaging, 

deployment and managing the Acronis infrastructure is performed using Acronis Snap Deploy 

Management Console.  
 

A reference image can be taken either in Windows or in the Acronis or Windows PE environment. The 

Acronis environment provides the GUI mode. Under Windows PE, command line mode and scripting 

are supported.  

 

Deployment is performed in the Acronis or Windows PE environment.  
 

A dedicated bootable utility enables full functional deployment with GUI on a standalone computer (a 

computer isolated from the network or included in a network without Acronis Snap Deploy 

infrastructure.)
