Adaptiva launches serverless software distribution from the Azure cloud
Deploying software and updates to computers across a global enterprise from the cloud can be slow and expensive using traditional methods.
Systems management specialist Adaptiva is launching OneSite 6.0, a serverless option for distributing software from the cloud using Microsoft System Center Configuration (ConfigMgr) and Microsoft Azure.
OneSite 6.0 eliminates barriers to cloud adoption by allowing content to be downloaded only once from the cloud. It then shares the content locally using peer-to-peer technology to efficiently minimize network bandwidth usage.
"Enterprises clearly want to move their systems management activities to the cloud, but are concerned about the demands and costs that high-volume, cloud-based software deployments would place on their networks," says Deepak Kumar, founder and CTO of Adaptiva. "With OneSite 6.0, Adaptiva alleviates those fears and makes cloud-based systems management a reality for enterprises worldwide. We are the only company with the sophisticated peer-to-peer architecture required to deploy software from the cloud at the speed and scale that Fortune 500 companies demand".
OneSite 6.0 will be certified using Microsoft Azure and support a variety of private and public cloud providers in future, including Amazon Web Services (AWS) and IBM Cloud. Key features include Windows 10 deployment images as well as applications and patches. OneSite customers can also use the product’s LiveFlow feature to view, pause, reprioritize, or cancel any cloud-initiated software delivery in real time.
When content is not available locally at an office, OneSite will obtain it from the nearest logical peer-to-peer storage point on the WAN. OneSite won't go to the cloud again if the content has already been downloaded once -- even if there are no servers on site.
It also eliminates the need for remote users to create a VPN connection to their corporate network to access software and updates. Remote workers can go directly to the cloud and not have to use internal network routes and costly bandwidth to keep their software updated. There are four-layers of cloud security, including basic SSL security, secure key exchange, tamper-proofing, and transfer at-rest encryption for maximum security protection during software distribution.
You can find out more on the Adaptiva website. And OneSite will be on display at the Microsoft Ignite conference in Atlanta, from September 26-30.
