ADMLink ESD enables Administrators to load products from media provided by software vendor

You can use inventory information collected by ADMLink Network Inventory (NI) to define software and hardware dependencies or to specify target computers for your installation.

Electronic Software Distribution (ESD) in general refers to the practice of allowing System Administrators to install software products across organization electronically (and primarily in unattended mode) as opposed to receiving physical media and visiting target computers with this media.
