Microsoft Deployment Solution Accelerator
Microsoft Deployment is the next version of Business Desktop Deployment (BDD) 2007. Microsoft Deployment, the fourth generation deployment accelerator, enables deployment of servers and desktops. Its tools and end-to-end guidance reduce deployment time, standardize desktop and server images, limit service disruptions, reduce post-deployment help desk costs and improve security and ongoing configuration management. Microsoft Deployment follows the trend for unified deployment tools across desktops, servers, and applications.

• System Center Configuration Manager 2007 Operating System Deployment
