Images to create 216 1 This transformation at Acme Holdings Inc. did not happen overnight. This process took place over a three year time frame. The implementation of a new system build process was done through attrition. Older systems were rebuilt using the processes described above as system rebuilds were required or as systems were transferred to new users. The new systems would adopt the ImageUltra process the first time they were deployed. Acme Holdings Inc. combined the use of ImageUltra Builder and the reduction of hardware and operating systems. This resulted in: ► Less time spent building and updating system builds ► Lesser cost of maintaining systems ► Greater standardization of platforms ► Single operating systems environment The following table summarizes the changes that have taken place by moving from the legacy image system to the modular IBM ImageUltra Builder system of system build creation.

The section, 1.8.1, “Importing modules from an IBM recovery CD set” on page 22, will demonstrate the ability to import the modules provided by IBM into the repository. This is the quickest and easiest means to populate the repository with the driver and OS modules needed for each system. Chapter 1. ImageUltra Builder 143
