Now Including Windows 8.1 and Microsoft Surface, IT Departments Can
Provision More Operating Systems and Devices Singapore - October,
8, 2014 - Acronis®, the global leader in new generation data
protection, today announced the availability of Acronis Snap
Deploy® 5, a tool trusted by over 27,000 organizations for system
deployment and provisioning. Snap Deploy 5 increases IT, worker and
student productivity by allowing educational institutions,
corporate training centers, and any organization responsible for
large enterprise deployments to rapidly refresh workstations and
provision mass deployment on devices. With Snap Deploy 5, IT can
refresh workstations and devices twice as fast, returning them to
their standard configuration or deploy updates to thousands of
machines as fast as they could provision one system. This ensures
employees, students and other users can work from devices free of
viruses, downloads or spyware attracted by a previous user. The
product is also now compatible with Windows® 8.1 and the Microsoft
Surface™ tablet, for additional flexibility. "At my primary school,
every two to three weeks we reimage about 300 workstations, ranging
from Windows XP to Windows 7, so students can effectively work
during labs or for class," says Tom Lawson, network manager with a
UK-based primary school. "Without Acronis Snap Deploy, it'd take me
a week to reinstall everything on a single computer. Now I can do
300 in three days, increasing my productivity and allowing me to
focus on supporting students and managing issues that may crop up
on the server. This is also important for my students with special
needs, after each reimaging, their computers are exactly the same
as before, diminishing confusion and letting them focus more on
learning each day." Acronis Snap Deploy 5 creates an exact system
image of any standard configuration that an organization chooses
and deploys the image to multiple PCs and servers. Through a
high-performance dispatch and central administration point, the
product provisions rapid bare-metal initial deployments to many
workstations and servers, and is ideal for on-going deployment to
the same or different hardware in education, training, and lab
environments. With its Acronis Universal Deploy feature, the
product empowers IT managers to provision hundreds of workstations
or servers, regardless of the architecture, as fast as they can
provision just one. From setting up devices for a batch of new
employees, to resetting school computers between new classes,
Acronis Snap Deploy provides the flexibility to deploy to multiple
operating systems including Windows Server, PCs, Microsoft Surface,
and Linux®. The award-winning disk imaging technology for Acronis
Snap Deploy 5 is powered by the Acronis AnyData Engine and creates
an exact disk image of any standard configuration- the operating
system, files and all applications- and simultaneously deploys the
image to multiple machines in one easy step. Acronis Snap Deploy
also automatically manages machine-specific configurations. Fueled
by more than 100 patents, the Acronis AnyData Engine powers all
Acronis new generation data protection products, allowing IT
managers to use one or more products, or add on additional products
based on their specific needs. "Acronis Snap Deploy has been a
trusted and reliable solution for almost a decade, helping our
customers quickly and simply provision multiple machines across
multiple architectures," says Katie Toy, Account Manager for Small
and Medium Business at Softmart. "Its ability to seamlessly tackle
specific IT challenges and increase productivity have made it a
highly demanded product and increased our overall business. It's
ease of use and simplicity make it an easy choice to offer to our
customers when they are looking for deployment and provisioning
tools." New features in Acronis Snap Deploy 5 include: ● 2X faster

quicker to provision multiple machines. This is ideal for
refreshing computer labs and diminishing workload on IT. It's a
product our customers and partners can gain immediate value from."
