26th May, 2010, Rotterdam, The Netherlands: 4M88 B.V. has produced OS migration demonstrations using DistriBrute which show that a Win 7 migration can be done very easily
DistriBrute is light desktop P2P deployment product which offers fast and reliable data deployment.
The demonstration is not in real time but is a faithful demonstration of the speed and ease of performing such a deployment operation. The demonstrations can be accessed here:
www.4m88.com/video-presentations/using-distribrute.htmlDistriBrute does the work that distribution servers normally do, so once the data has traveled over the WAN, the desktops assist each other by distributing data. Consequently 5 GB can be deployed to 10,000 desktops in 5 minutes (depending on the WAN connection). The demonstrations show clearly that a migration from Windows XP to Windows 7 can be done relatively quickly and easily.
Chief Technology Officer, Leo Blom said,” There is a lot of discussion about deployment complexity and problems of Win 7 migrations, using DistriBrute our demonstrations show that it can be done without difficulty.”
The demonstration does not include the background preparation that is necessary for a migration. Preparation is complex and depends on each organisation’s configuration.
However, the demonstration shows DistriBrute to be very efficient and recovers easily after connection losses. All the data (OS, Apps and drivers) remain on a separate cache partition during a reinstallation.
Another major benefit of DistriBrute is desktop recovery provided by the reinstall feature. This feature can be used for migrations, but also for refreshing the OS partition, as in the case of a virus breakout. The desktop reinstallations can be achieved without generating noticeable network traffic.
Because of its easy operation and the use of the powerful benefits that P2P delivers, DistriBrute saves costs in many ways. It is also delivers unlimited scalability.
Managing Director, Martin Pak, said,” We see many organizations struggling to manage their IT environments and costs. Smaller companies, for example without highly skilled administrators have several challenges. DistriBrute can assist those organizations more efficiently and at a lower cost.”
