Advantages of using SSOs
The advantages of cutting your product
using the SSO standard are:
-
provides object-oriented software management,
configurable with software management tools
-
provides diskless, small-disk, dataless, network client filesystem
-
allows for more powerful network administration
-
allows for more efficient use of disk space,
as one copy of the product on the hard disk lets the system act as
a standalone system, installation server, and a diskless or dataless server.
-
allows multiple versions of a component to be loaded on the system
and actually able to run on the system
-
allows rollback of versions
-
allows for simplified upgrades
