1. A method comprising:
- allocating a node of a plurality of nodes, in a hosting system, for hosting a virtual machine;
retrieving data, by the node, that represents a computer system, the data comprising a plurality of sections and a plurality of checksums corresponding to the plurality of sections;
validating the plurality of sections using the plurality of checksums;
copying the plurality of sections onto a disk volume of the node to deploy the computer system on the node; and
configuring the computer system to operate as the virtual machine by configuring information specific to an instantiation of the computer system.

Abstract
Some embodiments provide a method that, at a particular node of a hosting system that includes several nodes for hosting virtual machines, retrieves data representing a particular computer system from a storage. The data includes several sections and checksums for the sections. The method validates the sections by using the checksums. The method copies the sections of data onto a disk volume of the node that is allocated for a virtual machine in order to deploy the particular computer system. The method configures the particular computer system to operate as the virtual machine by configuring information specific to the particular instantiation of the particular computer system.
