Patent attributes
Deployment technique that can distribute OS images at a high speed, and which includes a deployment machine (hereafter abbreviated to “DM”), a plurality of servers which are connected to the DM via a first communications network, and a storage system which is connected to the DM and the plurality of servers via a second communications network. The storage system includes a plurality of server storage devices that respectively correspond to the plurality of servers, and an original storage device in which an OS image is stored. The DM transmits a first instruction to produce the OS image inside the original storage device in each of the plurality of server storage devices to the storage system, and thereafter, the respective servers read the OS images in the server storage devices corresponding to themselves via the second communications network, and start the OS.
