About Centralized <strong>Installation</strong><br />

<strong>Sonic</strong> <strong>8.5</strong> offers centralized installation <strong>and</strong> associated features that greatly simplify the<br />

configuration <strong>and</strong> management of distributed deployments.<br />

Centralized installation replaces a set of administrative tasks scattered across the<br />

domain’s topology with a simple install on each distributed system, <strong>and</strong> configuration<br />

functions that enable remote administrators to provision distributed systems with their<br />

required resources. Consider how key installation <strong>and</strong> setup functions have changed:<br />
