Deploying
IBM® Sametime® consists of a variety of servers and clients, and can be deployed to suit many different environments. The deployment instructions are organized by feature set, beginning with the minimum components that are necessary to support instant messaging, and then expanding the deployment to include features such as audio and video support, and conferencing.
Deploying the Sametime® client to users
The IBM® Sametime® Connect client or Sametime Embedded Client has to be installed on users' computers to use instant messaging and meetings. This section explains how to install these clients.
Installed clients
The IBM® Sametime® Connect and Sametime Embedded clients install directly on the user's computer. You can configure preferences for installed clients before distributing them to users, and then push updates to them automatically.
Distributing updates and optional features to clients
Configure an update site to distribute optional features and updates to clients.
Creating an update site for plugin access
If you want to provide additional IBM® Sametime® plugins for your users, you can create an update site by using tools available from Eclipse.org. Users can use the site to update features or to get new features for their Instant Messaging component.
