[RESOLVED] Performance question
Hi.
I have just installed a trial version of Snap Deploy 4. It seems to work okay and I can make master images and deploy them through the management console with no trouble. The images is saved in a shared folder on the same machine as where the Snap Deploy 4 program is installed. But when af deploy an for ex. a 15Gb. image via the managecment console to a target PC, it takes about 25 minutes over Gigabit network. When I boot up the same target machine in the "standalone agent" and not use the manament console, in takes about 8 minutes. I´m reading the image from the same machine, network and share, as when I do the deploy from the management console. I also tried to make a new master image with compression set to "None", and this was a little faster from the management console, but only a miniute or two. So my question is, does use of the management console take so much more load, when deploying images?? or is there something I can do to speed the process up, to get under 10 minutes like the use of "standalone agent"??
Looking forward to hear from you :-)
Peter.

I haven't noticed such a speed difference myself here using standalone or the PXE boot option. The PXE boot option may take a little longer to get going, but the transfer speeds seem to be the same once it starts. Sorry this isnt much help, I dont have the same results here.

Hello Peter,
Thank you for posting and welcome to the Forum. We are sorry for not replying sooner, if you need immediate assistance you can contact our Support team directly.
By default, Acronis Snap Deploy 4 is using the multicast setting for network utilization options. If you need to deploy multiple machines, then selecting multicast is preferable. To deploy 1 or 2 machines it is better to use unicast for better network performance. Could you please check the following page from our user guide and let us know if changing the settings has improved your network performance?
Another reason for slower network performance could be the location of the Acronis Snap Deploy 4 OS Deploy server in your network.
Please let me know if you have additional questions.
Thank you.

Hello Anton.
The Unicast setting did the trick :-)
Now the 15Gb. image, can be deployed 4 times faster than with the multicast setting :-)
Thank you for your help...
Peter.
