"The vision behind SMS 2003 is getting software updates out to all of our customers' distributed servers as quickly, easily, and cost-efficiently as possible," said Felicity McGourty, director of product management in the Windows and Enterprise Management Division at Microsoft. "Geographically distributed networks of size will benefit from OmniCast for SMS due to additional time saved during the distribution cycle of SMS2003."

A distributed system consists of a collection of autonomous computers linked by a computer network and equipped with distributed system software.
. With OmniCast for SMS, new SMS updates can be received, compressed, simultaneously distributed, and installed on every applicable server, anywhere on a wide area network.

In addition, OmniCast for SMS2003 offers full reporting, so distribution accuracy and performance will be immediately visible in reports.

"With OmniCast for SMS2003, Stratacache has essentially taken a bandwidth intensive, time-consuming distribution process and reduced it to a couple of mouse clicks," said Andi Mann, senior analyst at Enterprise Management Associates. "Any network administrator supporting a large distributed network of Windows systems on SMS2003 should welcome this product with open arms."
