Prevent simultaneous outages and manage configurations effectively.
Workstation updates are a tedious task for CIOs, especially when IT environments are distributed across multiple sites with varying network connections. The traditional update process can cause significant disruptions to both bandwidth and user productivity. Wisper 360 offers an innovative solution that industrializes and automates the management of updates, ensuring operational continuity even in the most complex environments.
For CIOs, deploying large-scale updates can quickly become a time consuming and costly task with high risks of bandwidth saturation, especially when each workstation downloads new releases individually. This unoptimized process can lead to extended delays, especially for remote sites with limited internet connections. Each delay or disruption in the deployment of updates directly affects team productivity, creating unplanned outages. The situation becomes even more complex in case of errors or bugs in new versions, often requiring long manual interventions to restore stable operation.
Wisper 360 solves these problems by radically simplifying the management of updates. Thanks to its centralized architecture and intelligent version management system, the solution allows an industrialization of the update process while minimizing bandwidth impacts and service interruptions.
At the heart of this approach is the Wisper Repository Service (WRS). This service centralizes and optimizes the distribution of updates by storing the necessary files locally. Unlike traditional methods where each station downloads updates individually from the cloud, WRS downloads files only once and then distributes them locally to workstations. This intelligent cache management significantly reduces the impact on bandwidth, while speeding up the update process.
WRS operates through a block-based data division called “chunks”, allowing only the changes needed to be sent to each workstation during updates. This not only allows for the optimization of deployment time, but also reduces the volumes of data transferred, especially crucial for sites with limited internet connections. In the event of a local WRS failure, automatic switch to cloud ensures that updates continue to be deployed without interruption.
One of the main advantages of Wisper 360 is its ability to centralize and automate the management of updates for the entire IT fleet. This allows CIOs to plan large-scale deployments, regardless of the number of sites or machines to be upgraded. With WRS, deployments can be done outside of working hours, avoiding any disruption to user productivity. This automation saves valuable time and reduces the workload of IT teams.
In addition, Wisper 360 includes version management that is particularly useful for minimizing the risks associated with updates. Before deploying a new version on all machines, it is possible to test it on a small group of users, thus ensuring its stability before a larger deployment. If a problem occurs on a deployed version, the rollback feature allows for a quick return to a previous version, ensuring business continuity without major disruption.
Consider an international company with subsidiaries in several countries. Each site previously had an uneven internet connection, which made the deployment of updates significantly more difficult. Security or software updates were often delayed due to insufficient bandwidth, and the impact on productivity was noticeable with each update cycle.
By adopting Wisper 360 and its Wisper Repository Service, this company has been able to streamline the entire update process. Now, each site downloads updates once via WRS, which then distributes them locally. The time required for deployment has been reduced by more than 50% and network interruptions have been completely avoided. IT teams can now schedule updates outside of peak hours, ensuring continuous workstation availability during working hours.
By integrating Wisper 360 into their infrastructure, CIOs have a complete solution to industrialize update management. With the Wisper Repository Service, updates are delivered smoothly, quickly and securely without impacting bandwidth, even in multi-site environments. Advanced version management and rollback features ensure operational stability, while offering maximum flexibility in deploying new releases.
Wisper 360 is thus an indispensable solution for companies seeking to optimize the management of their updates, while minimizing risks and ensuring seamless operational continuity.
