As IT structures grow the requirement for more applications also grows. Organisations not only have defined standard systems and applications but also bespoke applications. Organisations need a centralized and automated software delivery solution. DeskCenter System Manager offers this and more. Besides deploying standard setups, Thinstall and Xenocode packages, the DeskCenter Management Suite also supports installation of Microsoft Installer packages (MSI). .
So not only can software be deployed, but software packages can be removed or defective installations can be repaired.
Overview of functions
- Installation of standard setups, Microsoft Installer (MSI) packages and service packages
- Distribution of software with system rules
- Rules enable install, uninstall and update of software packages
- Definition of installation libraries in software packages
- Organise software packages into software groups
- Complete support of all MSI functions like installation, repair and un-installation
- Powerful integrated editor to define installations
- Employment of redundant distribution points for software packages
- Effective control of available bandwidth to software deployers
- Integration of script actions on the base of the Windows Scripting Host
- Detailed status display in the SDI agent
- Cache for software installations
Automated installations by rule systems
The DeskCenter Management Suite supports the most common methods of deployment: installation of MSI packages, standard setups and drivers over INF files. Different installations can be combined in an installation package. Using system rules, software packages can then be installed, uninstalled or updated. If requirements of systems change or new systems are added, predefined rules are activated automatically to install the contained software. For MSI packages, Thinstall packages and standard setups on the MSI database (e.g. service packs) there is also a editor included that covers all MSI parameters.
Time and bandwidth control
If required installations can be scheduled and if required, users can actively influence installations. For every installation setup, the bandwidth can be checked.
Support of scripts
All installations can be controlled with VB scripts using the System Manager. This allows configurations to be made on the system before or after the installation. Scripts can access several data values from the DeskCenter System Manager over variables. This makes user and location specific installations possible.
Redundant software depots with cache function
For the installation of software packages, the System Manager uses redundant software deployers. This means network permissions or URL paths. This makes installations to different sites more effective and smaller sites do not need an own server as installation resource. If required, installation resources can be stored to the client intermediately. Consequently, no further access to the software deployer is necessary to install more components of an application.
