Does Acronis Multicast, and is it better than Powercast

As it is right now i use a program called Powercast to make or cast images to computers.

I work in a shool so we image a classroom (typical 18-20 pc's) at a time with different images.
this is done by multicasting the image so it wont have to send the image file more than once. and all the computers will be done approx. the same time.

However we are now running into some problems with drivers for different ethernet adapters, and want to upgrade our system.

Now here is my question. Can Acronis do all of the above or will i be stuck with powercast?

Hi Danny,

The Acronis product for your application is Acronis Snap Deploy. It will build your images and then deploy them via multicast to multiple computers.

I know of several schools which use Snap Deploy successfully, particularly when all PCs in a classroom have the same hardware.
