Dropping 22TB of Patches on 6,500 PCs in 4 hours: BitTorrent
March 10, 2008
BitTorrent is often maligned, but overlooking it might be foolish. One IT department found that it can speed patching and image updates so much, that rollouts that once took four days now only take four hours.
Anyone who has using BitTorrents would have been able to tell them about this. For several years now, it has been my primary download tool for watching online videos, for the simple fact that I don’t have to sift though tons of porn to find something I legitimately want to watch. My personal favorite tool is Azureus Vuze with its video card catalog. I have found countless hours of interesting short films from the likes of Underground Film which I blogged about on Saturday on The Other Blog. The real milestone for BT technology will be the day Microsoft or Apple realize how great a tool this is for distributing their own updates to countless millions who snarl up the corporate servers.
