Redpaper
™
Tivoli Provisioning Manager
for OS Deployment in a
Retail Environment
Retail environments, like many other industries, are
continously seeking ways to reduce costs and improve their
competitive advantages.
One area where cost reduction is at play is with the IT
deployed in the warehouses. Because this environment is so
distributed, significant cost savings can be achieved if the
hardware and software can be maintained without having to
be physically present in the warehouse.
This IBM® Redpaper presents the IBM Tivoli Provisioning
Manager for OS Deployment software product as a solution
to help customers reduce costs for deploying operating
systems to point-of-sale devices in a highly distributed
environment.
Additionally, the Redpaper introduces a solution specifically
developed for IBM Technical Support, to reduce the recovery
time whenever a software or hardware failure requires a
system to be re-deployed.
The audience of the Redpaper are IT managers in the retail
sector and technical support people in areas with
point-of-sale or kiosk systems. Technical support people in
other highly distributed environments may also benefit from
the information herein.
