Benefits of Content Deployment

Content Deployment is not a tool for authoring Web pages or other content. Rather, it moves content from one server to one or more other servers. In addition to deploying content, Content Deployment quickly, securely, and reliably deploys and installs server applications, including COM components and Java applets.

Content Deployment does the following:

  1. Uses the TCP/IP protocol and Windows 2000 Server authentication in order to create secure connections among Content Deployment servers.
  2. Deploys data reliably across an intranet or Internet network through sophisticated data validation.

    For example, for small sites you can move content from a staging server to a production directory on the same server. For large sites you can deploy content from a staging server to a midpoint distribution server, in order to perform a final check and test. Once the content has been approved, you can disseminate it to Windows- or UNIX-based production Web servers around the world.
