Updated System Center add-on improves server-less software deployment
Microsoft's System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) has become one of the leading products form managing large groups of computers, whether or not they're running Windows.
In order to improve its usefulness still further, add-on provider Adaptiva is launching the latest version of its flagship SCCM solution. OneSite 4.5 is focused on enhancing visibility and security while optimizing the speed at which enterprises can perform server-less software deployments.
Adaptiva's award-winning solution lets large enterprises manage clients worldwide at lower cost and with less IT staff effort, by removing the need for a global server infrastructure. Since 2011, Adaptiva has been the solution provider of choice for many Fortune 500 companies who rely on OneSite for seamless SCCM operations from a single site with zero impact to their business WAN traffic.
"It is a testament to the OneSite platform that many of the world's largest financial institutions, manufacturing leaders and healthcare providers rely on our technology to perform massive system updates and their input is deeply reflected in our new software," says Deepak Kumar, CTO and founder of Adaptiva. "The emphasis on visibility, security and global scalability in version 4.5 gives Adaptiva customers a distinct advantage, and we will continue to deliver innovations of this caliber".
New features in OneSite 4.5 include an update manager that makes it simple for customers to seamlessly update directly from the OneSite software they're currently running to a newer one through the automated generation of a single customized smart patch. There's also integrated security which gives customers the ability to use network access accounts for an extra layer of protection.
For multinational companies where computers travel around the globe, OneSite automatically senses where they are and intelligently retrieves SCCM content accordingly. For example if a user travels between London to New York, their system always gets content locally.
For admins there's a WAN Performance Visualizer to generate customizable network load in a test/proof-of-concept environment to verify that an application won't impact WAN traffic or decrease responsiveness. The latest OneSite also has enhanced predictive bandwidth harvesting to forecast usage and maintain responsiveness.
