Opsware Server Automation System.
The Home Depot uses Opsware ( note, I am not affliated with either The
Home Depot or Opsware ) to deploy to and manage something like 7,000
solaris/aix/windows servers in a couple thousand standalone retail
locations around the country. If I recall correctly they are doing
several code pushes a day to all those servers, in something like a 20
minute window per push. The Home Depot deployment posture would seem to
have a lot in common with yours; I'd suggest getting Opsware in for a
demo, and specifically asking about the Home Depot deployment.
