At its European Tech-Ed user event in Barcelona this month, Microsoft demonstrated the latest build of its upcoming Automated Deployment Services (ADS) software for faster set-up of server operating systems and applications.
In a keynote address at the show, Microsoft program manager Paul Sutton showed how ADS, due to ship in August or September, could set up a 'bare metal' blade server over a network connection by installing operating system and application components as required.
Microsoft delivered the first beta-test version of ADS to customers including Cable & Wireless in March this year.
