Draft Document for Review November 15, 2007 3:27 pm 4372ch01.fm
Chapter 1. Introduction
This chapter introduces the retail environment, the technical challenges retail
environments pose and how Tivoli Provisioning Manager for OS Deployment can
be used to solve some of them.
This chapter also introduces realistic POS provisioning scenarios and outlines
the environment used to produce this paper.
Readers already familiar with the retail environment may skip most of this
chapter but for a full understanding of the scenarios it is recommended you read
sections 1.7, “Typical scenarios in a system life cycle” on page 10 and 1.8,
“Introducing the LAB environment” on page 13.
