Nomad 6.0 is Here With Updated Features

Author: David Allison

1E is known for its software porting solution and many experts recommend this to avoid software and operating system porting. It is the most used software tool for Windows 10 migration. Thus, when 1e launched Nomad version 6.0, its premier migration assistance software, the market responded happily.

This new version comes with lots of enhancements and new features. This is the best Nomad version for migrating to Windows 10, the latest operating system from the market leader, Microsoft. With Windows 10, Microsoft has adopted a new service, it is now using the servicing branches to offer the latest updates for the operating system and also the security updates are sent via this channel. This leads to increased load of content. In this new system, the network traffic and the config-manager content will also include service branch contents as well, along with the software distribution, OS deployment and application development. The new version of Nomad has been designed to cope up with the added load, using newer features.

Pre Caching is one of the latest features. Every type of content is now supported except for software updates in Pre caching. Be it applications, driver packages, operating system upgrade packages, operating system images or boot image, new version of Nomad can easily handle it.

Packages are also handled more ably. All the previously mentioned packages have their own task sequences. In fact, it is very flexible as the admin can use which reference packages to pre-cache using the set-up wizard. No need to pre-cache every package to upgrade any particular packaging.

Different cache are set different location of the storage as well. In fact, admins can also choose a particular machine to serve the pre-cache purpose if there are multiple machines. The admin will have full control over the process and set specific locations for the particular content. In simpler words, admin will have a total control over everything.

ConfigMgr console is totally integrated with whole system. The admin needs no separate or parallel console to manage it. The whole process is wizard driven. If there is a role based administration model implemented in the organisation, the perfect integration of 1e nomad branch with the existing ConfigMgr security panel helps them to perform role-specific tasks. The new version is also tweaked to leverages the existing ConfigMgr software distribution system efficiently. It is configured to use management points to locate the content. If necessary, the software can also use WAN network to download the content to different distribution points.
