Deployment Sizing Key Factors

A number of key factors having a considerable impact on the infrastructure sizing, and system performance, including the following:

• Size of software packages to deliver.
• Number of software packages to deliver.
• Frequency of software package delivery.
• Network latency between deployment components and target computers.
• Network bandwidth management.

Note: The initial deployment to a target installs IDPrimer, a small installation agent. Once IDPrimer is installed, subsequent deployments to the same target require less time.

Deployment recommendations:

• Verify that target servers typically meet the requirements for deploying software remotely.
• Install additional distribution servers local to the target location.
• Deploy using distribution servers that are local to targets if possible.
• Schedule deployments to start during periods of low network traffic if possible.
