Workflow Designer and Engine

Enterprise Class P2P Architecture: Eliminate infrastructure

Traditional systems management requires a server-intensive global infrastructure to store and distribute content

With Adaptiva you can replace 1000s of servers with just one site

OneSite’s enterprise class peer-to-peer architecture eliminates distribution points by using clients to store and share content locally

Costly distribution points needed to cache data at each operating location

Otherwise => suffer slow performance and require repeated WAN intensive content downloads

Simplify your systems

management infrastructure

Predictive Bandwidth Harvesting: No throttling

Traditional approaches to content delivery must rely on throttling to ensure the network is protected, which slows content delivery

OneSite’s unprecedented bandwidth harvesting technology proactively:

Predicts future network conditions - in milliseconds - to optimize software delivery with no throttling

Add to this the fact that Adaptiva:

Compresses the content, using advanced algorithms, to use bandwidth intelligently

This Speeds the content when the time is right and without negatively impacting the network

Speed content delivery when business

traffic is predicted to be light

Slow content delivery when business

traffic is predicted to be heavy

Automatically

Never bother the network team again

NetBoost: Guarantee network responsiveness

The OneSite NetBoost feature ensures network responsiveness so

applications and end users perform at peak productivity.

Unlike TCP-based protocols, OneSite’s enterprise-grade, packet-level

driver moves content at the highest possible speed while keeping latency low.

With NetBoost, admins can specify the responsiveness threshold in

milliseconds.

OneSite keeps the network as snappy as you like, even when

delivering large payloads over slow and poor connections.

Flow Equalizer: Proactively level out ConfigMgr traffic spikes

Competitive peer-to-peer technologies create a separate network flow for each download, and the multiple flows can overload the WAN — leading to speed-killing throttling.

OneSite’s Flow Equalizer technology protects the WAN by proactively leveling out traffic when multiple downloads occur at once:

▪ “Time slices” many downloads into a single network flow

▪ Never spikes or impacts the network

▪ Safely delivers content at maximum speed with no throttling

Memory Pipeline Architecture: Rapid P2P content sharing

Outdated P2P content delivery schemes, such as “fan-out” designs:

▪ Must download content to a hard disk before sharing

▪ Can slow to a crawl when one peer has delivery issues, holding up disk space

Adaptiva’s Memory Pipeline Architecture delivers data quickly to peer systems on the LAN without impacting end users:

▪ Moves data between peers in RAM so it is lightning fast

▪ Passes rapidly to the next peer out of memory before writing to disk

▪ Scales easily to 1,000 systems or more

▪ Never drops a byte if a peer goes offline

Slow, unreliable master/slave P2P architecture

Fast, fault-tolerant OneSite

Memory Pipeline Architecture

Virtual SAN: Reduce WAN impacts by intelligently storing content

OneSite prevents end user impacts by intelligently storing content locally in a self-forming Virtual Storage Area Network

▪ No estimating, configuring, or manual clean-up of storage

▪ Automatically caches content in unused space on peer computers using “zero footprint caching”

▪ Joins all content caches into a virtual SAN

▪ Self-manages content caches to provide every endpoint what it needs

Self-forming Virtual SAN

Track, Target & Orchestrate

every piece of individual ConfigMgr content

No end user storage and

performance impacts

Competitive P2P solutions require admins

to allocate storage on client machines,

negatively impacting end users

Peer-to-peer PXE: Speed OS deployments

Deploying PXE on distributed enterprise-scale networks requires:

▪ Costly, large-scale server infrastructure

▪ Tedious network configuration changes (IP helpers) on routers

▪ Complicated DHCP server changes

OneSite delivers OSD in seconds with P2P PXE

▪ No server infrastructure

▪ Any computer running OneSite can act as a PXE server

▪ No network changes

▪ Every network segment has its own OneSite PXE server

▪ No need for new DHCP scope options, router

configurations, or any special network passwords or

permissions

Enable with the check of a box

Virtual State Migration Points (V-SMPs): Solve migration issues

Traditional OSD requires admins to add local storage at every

operating location or ship and reformat machines manually to

save state

OneSite intelligently selects the best-suited systems on the

LAN to act as V-SMPs

Saves state in the unused storage space that exists at every location, and then restore it after migration

Automatically manages storage and data

Uses built-in redundancy ensures business continuity

Saves state on multiple systems for desired time period

Pre-Staging Content

AutoStage - Create policies for

automatically pushing and pre-staging new content based on ConfigMgr type and priority you set

AutoSync - Detect if new content is added/updated and

distribute differential file automatically

IntelliStage - Auto-identify the most highly available

machines at each location for delivery

▪ Competing systems require admins to manually identify and select each individual target computer, prepare and launch every pre-staging job individually and manually

▪ OneSite’s Content Push features eliminate these administrative burdens:

Simply set it & forget it!

LiveFlow™: View and control content transfers in real-time

OneSite is the only content

distribution engine to deliver:

Real-time visibility into

▪ Where content is available▪ Where content is in transit

▪ Where content will arrive

Full control over every transfer

▪ Pause▪ Resume

▪ Reprioritize

▪ Cancel
