SEATTLE, Sept. 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Adaptiva, the
market leader in smart scaling systems management, announced today
that Anixter Inc., a global distributor of network, security,
electrical, electronic, and utility power solutions, has chosen
Adaptiva OneSite to enhance its ongoing Microsoft System Center
Configuration (ConfigMgr) based software distribution. Anixter's
global footprint extends from its headquarters near Chicago to more than 300 cities in upwards of
50 countries. Anixter Inc. is the primary operating subsidiary of
Anixter International Inc. (NYSE: AXE), a Fortune 500 company with
more than $7 billion in revenue.
"At Anixter, we centralize our IT infrastructure while
distributing configuration management responsibilities out to
global network of IT teams. OneSite should help us to reduce
administration efforts and speed software delivery timelines for
those teams by providing increased visibility and control over
ConfigMgr content transfers," said Andrew
Goldberg, chief technology officer at Anixter. "We evaluated
a number of different content distribution options before selecting
Adaptiva."
OneSite's peer caching features enable companies, like Anixter,
to store and share content without negatively impacting the
network. With OneSite, companies gain the ability to view, pause,
resume, reprioritize, and cancel any software deployment in real
time. They can also accelerate software deployments by leveraging
OneSite's unique ability to predict and dynamically adjust to
network conditions.
OneSite enables any Windows system to become a PXE server that
can deliver OS images from a Virtual Storage Area
Network that OneSite sets up automatically at each operating
location. OneSite's rapid enterprise operating system deployment
(OSD) capabilities advance the power of ConfigMgr so enterprises
can accelerate Windows OS migrations with increased speed and
control over the content distribution process.
"Deploying software on a global scale requires sophisticated
technology that can intelligently store and share content without
requiring countless hours of manual intervention from system
administrators," said Jim Souders,
chief operating officer at Adaptiva. "OneSite's scalable design
empowers customers, like Anixter, to automate and simplify their
operating system and software deployments across hundreds of
worldwide locations. We look forward to working with Anixter."
