      Main Description
      Detailed definition of systems management and software distribution are deferred until the nodes and deployment units have been defined in more detail.
      Key Considerations
      Adequate systems management and software distribution are essential to satisfying service level requirements such as availability, and may be critical to system success, but systems management and software distribution is often not addressed until late in the development process.
