Case Study: University of Aberdeen cuts PC deployment time in half with Acronis Snap Deploy

University of Aberdeen cuts PC imaging time in half with Acronis Snap Deploy

The University of Aberdeen faced the challenge of maintaining a consistent software environment across 1,700 publicly accessible PCs while being constrained by outdated imaging technology that limited its master image size to 4GB. This restriction forced the IT team to spend excessive hours prioritizing software and finding network-based solutions. The university turned to vendor Acronis and its product, Acronis Snap Deploy, for a new deployment solution.

Acronis Snap Deploy eliminated the image size restriction, allowing the university to create comprehensive master images with all required local applications. The solution cut the time to image a single PC in half, from two hours to under one hour, saving the IT team up to 10 weeks of deployment time annually. Acronis provided a cost-effective and easy-to-use tool that significantly enhanced productivity.
