Disk Utilization; Network Utilization - ACRONIS SNAP DEPLOY 2.0 User Manual

The default setting is Shutdown.
6.14.2

Disk utilization

If the target disk capacity is not equal to that of the master computer's disk,
the program can enlarge (or reduce) each partition according to the
proportion of the master and target disk capacities. Alternatively, if the target
disk is larger, the program can keep the original partitions' size and leave the
remaining disk space unallocated.
The default setting is Occupy disk space entirely.
6.14.3

Network utilization

You can choose the data transfer mode for the deployment. With the
Multicast transfer mode, Acronis OS Deploy Server sends data to a group of
recipients simultaneously. Using the Unicast transfer mode, the server sends
a copy of the data to each recipient (this can significantly reduce the
deployment speed).
For example, you have 128 KB/sec bandwidth and want to deploy system on
10 target computers:

Figure 45. Deployment options: restart
with Unicast mode, the server divides 128 KB/sec among 10
computers, therefore the data transfer speed will be 12.8 KB/sec for
each target machine
with Multicast mode, the server sends one copy of data to a multicast
address, and each client will receive data at 128 KB/sec speed.
