By automating the installation of Sonic products and tailoring the configuration to suit each host, Sonic Deployment Manager reduces the time and cost of project development, delivery and maintenance.

Figure: Sonic Deployment Manager streamlines incremental development and rollout of large-scale Sonic deployments.

Sonic Deployment Manager allows architects to model all aspects of a Sonic deployment, independent of physical deployment details. This includes enterprise messaging broker configurations, service containers and routing definitions. By automating consistent and repeatable installation and configuration it reduces the time for operations teams to deploy to a remote site from days to minutes, even at unattended remote sites.

Sonic Deployment Manager enables you to keep your Sonic infrastructure agile and reduces your total cost of ownership by rapidly and reliably deploying changes. It provides you with control over your Sonic deployment, automating installation and configuration in distributed environments. Key product benefits include:

Faster project lifecycle management that supports incremental development and rapid change management.
Significantly decreases time and cost of installing and configuring large deployments.
Establishes and reinforces best practices and methodologies.
Allows reproducible testing of production environment prior to rollout.
Provides a reusable and repeatable Progress Sonic environment.
Improves supportability and maintainability and streamlines multi-site integration projects.

The capabilities provided by Sonic Deployment Manager are most valuable for customers with large distributed environments – such as global, multi-national organizations or retailers.

Rapid, large-scale deployment: Automated installation and configuration greatly reduces the time and cost for deployment or updates in large-scale Sonic deployments.
Supports fast, iterative development: Streamlines the migration of all configuration artifacts from development to test, to QA to production environments. Rapid, incremental and iterative development approaches that reduce the project risk associated with “big-bang” projects are promoted.
Remote domain and site support: A remote operator can log in to a target system and perform installation and upgrade over a network. In this way, unattended installation, upgrade and configuration of Sonic deployments in remote domains and sites is supported..
Automated product installation and configuration: Eliminates human error and reduces the cost and time required to complete an installation. It is also possible for any given configuration to be recreated and deployed on demand for easy reproduction of a particular software environment.
Model-driven: A logical model independent of the physical parameters of the target machine can be deployed, encouraging repeatable, reproducible deployments and the centralization of skills within a core group. A centralized, model-driven approach also helps to ensure the adherence to IT governance rules.
