Architecting a Highly Efficient Image Management System With Tivoli Provisioning Manager for OS Deployment
Overview Tivoli Provisioning Manager for OS Deployment provisions operating systems and applications to computers using the Pre-boot eXecution Environment (PXE) industry standard for bare-metal installation. A bare-metal installation eliminates the need for an operating system to be present on a local disk drive. Tivoli Provisioning Manager for OS Deployment is a turn-key solution to the most common provisioning issues and provides an easy to use, turn-key solution for education, SMB, or larger accounts. This paper discusses how to design and implement a highly effective image management solution for small, medium, and enterprise accounts, taking network bandwidth limitations and large OS image sizes into consideration. This paper also covers the considerations for choosing an image management solution and the benefits of implementing such an environment.
