An Automated Software Distribution Solution

An Automated Software Distribution Solution

Keeping software levels up-to-date is a major task for most companies. This IBM Redbook proposes a packaged solution using Tivoli Software Distribution 4.0, which will help customers enforce a software policy in their enterprise. The idea is to be able to assign software templates or profiles to each workstation so that whenever there is a difference between the actual software portfolio and the desired one, the workstation will be able to dowload and configure the necessary software from a designated code server.

The solution utilizes new Tivoli Framework 3.7 and Tivoli Software Distribution facilities, such as software tracking, the MDist2 database, and software Depots, and is flexible enough to be applied by a majority of customers. Recommendations are given from real-life implementations of the solution.

This solution will greatly extend the benefits of using Tivoli Software Distribution by reducing costs, increasing reliability, and providing fast delivery. We believe the solution described in this book will be very useful for customers who are planning to implement a software distribution infrastructure or are already using Tivoli Software Distribution and want to automate the software enforcement process.
