Anyone tried BMC's Deployment Manager? How's it compare to Levanta? Thanks Gene
>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 09/10/03 06:27PM >>> We're using Levanta. Started with version 1 and are now using version 2. Currently have a few production Version 1 instances. In 3 weeks we have some mission-critical Linux instances going into production using Levanta. Version 2 is based on VM-level minidisk sharing (instead of NFS as used in version 1) which allows packages to be shared amongst instances. There is then a read/write file system layer that allows for customizations to the products. Also the product now supports non-RPM packages which is GREAT!! Since our VM environment is dedicated to Linux instances I even use Levanta as our USER DIRECT manager. The two interfaces provided (Web UI and command level) are both POWERFUL!!! This sophistication does come with a bit of a learning curve. Some new concepts and terminology.. nothing like rocket science... Heck I learned it!! haha We're very happy with the product!!! Version 2 is much stronger than version 1 mainly in that it can handle packages that are other than RPMs. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gene Walters" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2003 10:56 AM Subject: Anyone tried Levanta > Hi, > > Has anyone on the list tried Levanta?
