Dell KACE upgrade deploys OS upgrades to 250 devices, simultaneously |
January 28, 2014
With Microsoft’s deadline for the end of Windows XP support looming ever larger, Dell’s KACE division launched a new version of its deployment appliance that can upgrade 250 PCs simultaneously.
Version 3.6 of the Dell KACE K2000 deployment appliance adds multicasting, allowing the appliance to rapidly deploy new operating systems and applications. The same image is transferred to multiple clients just once over the network. The apppliance itself can manage up to 100 nodes, and supports Android, iOS, various Microsoft Windows OSes plus Mac OS as well.
A new task engine allows the appliance to manage installations that require multiple reboots, allowing buyers of the $4500 appliance to perform “lights-out” operations at off hours. The appliance remains the same; existing customers can also download the 3.6 upgrade for free, Dell said.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
