Which FAM are you talking about? fam in Debian is 'File Alteration Monitor', which is unrelated. And searches for 'FAM provisioning' and 'FAM deployment' did not bring up anything relevant. There's a discussion of other existing tools in section 6 of http://hal.inria.fr/docs/00/71/06/38/PDF/RR-8002.pdf. One similar tool that is already packaged in Debian is clonezilla. However, CloneZilla targets smaller-scale installations: its authors usually use classroom-like setups as examples. Another related tool is ironic (part of OpenStack). Kadeploy has the advantage of being a standalone with little dependencies on the rest of your infra, and uses different mechanisms for broadcasting the data (AFAIK Ironic exposes the disk of remote nodes using iSCSI).
