Chris, I know the OneSite product we’re a customer. We’re also an Office 365 subscriber. I also have talked through but did not deploy O365. We are deploying Office Pro Plus still and updating it with SCCM, the Software Update and service pack way. For this, a product like OneSite is a fantastic help. (We took 81 DP’s down to 1. This is not an ad for OneSite, so I’ll take it back to your situation.)
We decided not to deploy the O365 bits because we could not control the updates without many source locations to manage. We have >1000 WAN links and 19,000 clients. It would have meant building another patch and update network on top of an existing working solution and managing that. Inefficient. Oh, and we couldn’t just let O365 update itself on Microsoft’s schedule because of WAN links and no ability to manage bandwidth usage over them. You either deploy Office 365 to your computers and take updates when they come, which may work if you are all in 1 building with a big internet connection; or you deploy Office 365 and build a virtual WAN of updates that you download from Microsoft and put on your DP’s (in your case). The latter is the framework of your question. A content management network like OneSite or Nomad doesn’t help this. Heck, I would need more info, but outside of O365 I’m not sure OneSite would meet the “everything needs to come from the DP’s” requirement, but I suppose you could map the OneSite Virtual Network through existing DP’s. It may not matter if it’s political or security matter.

We have over 100 Distribution Points now, is there any way around having 100 different .XML files that would point to the local DP for the source? We have a restriction on our network that content must be pulled from the local DP, and cannot be pulled across the WAN. DFS is not going to be an option either.
