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.
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.
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.
