Deployment Solution

Deployment Server

The Deployment Server is the central component of a Deployment System and manages
the Deployment Database, the communication between the different components, and
schedules jobs to run on managed computers.

Deployment Database

The Deployment Database provides the back-end datastore and stores details about the
computers, groups, and jobs in your Deployment System. Most of the time, you do not
need to interact directly with the database.

Deployment Share

The Deployment Share stores all files, such as installation programs, disk images, and
SVS layers you want accessible to managed computers.
This share can reside on your Deployment Server or on another computer, and is often
replicated to different locations to provide better access, especially in distributed
networks or when sharing large files.

Management Consoles

Deployment Solution provides three management consoles:
Deployment Console: A Windows application that provides complete access to the
Deployment System administration.
