<strong>Exceed</strong> <strong>onDemand</strong> Deployment Wizard fundamentals<br />

<strong>Exceed</strong> <strong>onDemand</strong> Deployment Wizard allows <strong>Exceed</strong> <strong>onDemand</strong> Client to be deployed through<br />

Internet Explorer. It offers reduced cost of ownership, centralized deployment and management,<br />

and exceptional ease of access to X Window systems.<br />

<strong>Exceed</strong> <strong>onDemand</strong> Deployment Wizard is designed as an administrative tool, enabling administrators<br />

to deploy and maintain different versions of software without increasing administrative overhead.<br />

With <strong>Exceed</strong> <strong>onDemand</strong> Deployment Wizard, only the web server needs to be updated, ensuring users<br />

automatically get the latest version of the software with zero-effort.<br />

By using <strong>Exceed</strong> <strong>onDemand</strong> Deployment Wizard, an administrator can create a web deployment package<br />

that contains <strong>Exceed</strong> <strong>onDemand</strong> components and a user profile. Once the administrator has finished<br />

running the wizard, a set of binary and HTML files are presented for installation on any web server.<br />

Each user wanting to use <strong>Exceed</strong> <strong>onDemand</strong> simply has to point his web browser to a web page as<br />

indicated by the administrator. Once done, Internet Explorer downloads all the necessary components<br />

and profiles and installs them on the user’s PC. Once installed, the web-deployed software can be<br />

accessed and managed by users like any other Windows software. The Client can be launched<br />

regardless of the state of the web server from which it was installed. Practically, there is no difference<br />

between the web-deployed version and the CD version of the Client.<br />

The figure on the next page is an overview of the 5 steps involved in deploying <strong>Exceed</strong> <strong>onDemand</strong><br />

Client over the web.<br />
