• Supports push and pull modes:• Push over SSH

— Need SSHD on the remote machine. Mostly for UNIX but can be setup on Windows— Need remote machine credentials: username/password or keyfile location— Fully automated, can run in parallel for multiple remote hosts

• Pull over HTTP/S— Need connectivity from the remote machine to the CC— Download the installer archive from CC using browser or curl/wget, unzip and

execute install.bat/.sh script. Customized instructions are provided

• Supports 9.5+ managed installations• Enabled from Web UI and CLI
