You could deploy an image using FOG
While this was my initial thought as well, he has asked about doing this simultaneously. Which fog generally isn't "all at once go".
It kind of is...I was using FOG to do multicast imaging 7 years ago. We're talking 30-60 machines at a clip.
Sure it can do it but that doesn't mean that you should do it. It's about network performance and if you're not setup for it you'll encounter massive slowdowns

This is somethign I don't undestand on the network side.
If you're doing multicasts - why would the rest of switch be affected? Only the ports subscribed to the multicast, and the one providing the multicast should be affected..
Now of course if you end up going over an uplink connection, the downstream switch will be entirely affected.. but assuming that's not the case, why would everyone else be affected by the multicast? -

When I changed from using the general network to a segmented one, I was able to run 20 machines at a time (limited by the switch that was available) and no one knew the difference.

Mutlicast is the way to go. You can even do it over broadcast domains. It sounds like you didn't have multicast configured correctly? Even doing 60 machines we didn't see any network slowness associated with imaging.
