技術說明

The disclosure is related to a method for deploying a computer operating environment and a deployment system. The deployment system includes multiple terminal machines that are ready to process deployment operations. One of the terminal machines or an additional one machine acts as a template machine that includes an operating environment configured to be deployed to the terminal machines. The operating environment includes an operating system, one or more applications, and data. In an aspect of the disclosure, an external bootable storage device plugged to the template machine is provided to initiate the template machine. The bootable storage device stores a software program that is developed by a mechanism to perform the method of the disclosure. After the template machine is initiated, a deployment program is executed to scan a file system of an internal storage device of the template machine. The data relating to the operating environment in the hard drive is segmented and encoded so as to form multiple segments. Indexes and segment checksums with respect to the segments are also created. For achieving a peer-to-peer (P2P) data sharing protocol such as a BitTorrent (BT) method, a metainfo file or a metadata file for the above data is created. The size of BitTorrent-related metainfo file and file system partition data generated in the template machine may be only hundreds of kilobytes to several megabytes that can be temporarily stored in a memory without preparing additional storage space. The data can also be stored in any other memory space. The system performs the method for deploying a computer operating environment via the template machine.
