Veritas Provisioning Manager

Veritas Provisioning Manager 4.2 by Symantec automates server provisioning by discovering servers, installing operating systems, deploying and configuring applications, and modifying network settings on multiple servers simultaneously. Administrators quickly save configuration images on major operating systems and redeploy those images to servers as needed, eliminating configuration errors and reducing provisioning time.
