Provide the image service behind software lifecycle management.
Store and manage the OS image and related files used by Gluware OS Manager.
A deployment plan needs its software artifacts.
Software lifecycle automation needs more than a target version. The platform must store and make available the files used by the deployment process. File Server supplies that maintained service; OS Manager determines the target plan and performs the software operation.
FUNCTIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
What File Server provides.
Manage software artifacts
Store OS images and related files used by OS Manager.
Distribute image delivery
Deploy Gluware File Server instances across the enterprise network and associate devices with the appropriate service to improve transfer performance.
Operate the repository
Add, move, rename, or delete files and folders and manage their properties.
Its role in the wider platform.
File Server supplies files; OS Manager selects images and executes transfer or deployment plans. Device Manager records the file-server setting for the device. Network RPA can coordinate OS Plan tasks in the wider process.
The team can use a built-in file service rather than maintaining separate image-management plumbing for each upgrade initiative. The business value is realized through the software changes this service enables.
OS Manager
Use OS catalogs and deployment plans to select approved images, validate readiness, schedule upgrades or downgrades, and review execution results on supported devices.
Device Manager
Discover and inventory devices, inspect configuration and software state, and maintain the fleet information that network automation depends on.
Network RPA
Build and run visual processes that connect Gluware applications, external systems, operational logic, scheduling, and traceable tasks.
