Sun Update Connection - Enterprise 1.0 User's Guide

Sun Update Connection – Enterprise Overview

Sun Update Connection – Enterprise is a software tool that manages the complete lifecycle deployment in an enterprise Linux environment and in an enterprise Solaris environment. The Sun Update Connection – Enterprise solution significantly reduces the time and expertise required to build and deploy an updated, secure, and reliable environment.

Sun Update Connection – Enterprise ensures the integrity of the environment, which includes the kernel, the operating system, open source components, middleware, third-party applications, and homegrown applications. Sun Update Connection – Enterprise uses a sophisticated patented technology that maps interdependencies between software components.

The Certification Lab generates real-world deployment rules, the most exact and up-to-date, for thousands of authenticated components. These rules are based on actual tests for every phase of the system lifecycle. You can use Sun Update Connection – Enterprise to manage development, test, and production machines with certified components and rules. You can also manage machines with rules you generate by using the local expansion technology to include third-part applications and homegrown applications. Every day the Certification Lab adds more components and deployment rules to the universal server.

The system dependency server is installed at your site. This server extracts and retains system logic from the underlying operating systems and hardware platforms of your managed hosts. Logic abstraction maximizes ongoing system investment and mitigates the risk of being locked into a single vendor, distribution, or hardware platform.
