Distributed Installation of ASD 5

Thread needs solution

Hello everyone,

i've a question about the acronis snap deploy 5 installation. Can i install A.S.D. 5 management console (and license server) at the headquarter and ASD OS Deloyer on a server dislocated in the remote branch? 

We connect remote offices with headquarter through a VPN connection, but the deploy of images it's often slow and sometimes crash.

Is it possibile this configuration? Have you any suggestions?

Thank. Kind regards

It's possible as long as they appear to be on the same network and can talk to each other via VPN.  Sounds like that is possible since it sometimes works.  However, slow connections or bad routing can definitely cause issues.  Ultimately, if your netework (VPN) connection is slow and/or too many packets are dropped, or there's too much latency, then your deployment results will be sub-par.  You definitely don't want to be using multicast on your network and should stick to Unicast to avoid creating an internal broadcast storm or bogging down your switches/routers too much.  

Couldn't you stand up a local server (can be a pc running SD) at the remote site and configure it to push backup images from there.  you can copy your main images so you have one in each location and use the local insntance to improve performance.
