Software Delivery automates distributed computing's most onerous and expensive task:
the delivery and installation of software and updates across thousands of servers, desktops
and networks. CA-Unicenter/Software Delivery provides new software and updates in a
scalable, controlled, secure, scheduled and auditable manner to networked multi-platform
desktops and servers at the push of a button. Working through its client/server systems
manager, Software Delivery runs on platforms as diverse as LANs, UNIX, AS/400s and
mainframes.
CA-Unicerter/Software Delivery provides:
- Scalable Software Delivery. New software is automatically distributed according to a
multi-staged or stepped structure, sending the software first to a server at each site with
instructions to retransmit to all desktop clients.
- Scheduled and Ad-hoc Distribution. Sends the software when transmission is most
desirable -- for instance between 2-4 a.m. when computers are often not in use.
- Automatic Installation and Confirmation. Confirms that the software is installed or the
update is implemented correctly.
- Corequisite Software Installation. Includes updated versions of all software required by
the target software package being distributed, eliminating non-compatible functionality
between versions.
- Automated Software Inventory. Notification of current software installed to simplify
internal record keeping.
