The following key factors affect infrastructure sizing system performance:
  • 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. After 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.
  • If they are necessary, install more distribution servers local to the target location.
  • If possible, use distribution servers that are local to targets to deploy.
  • If possible, schedule deployments to start during periods of low network traffic.
