This is the overview diagram for the production or operational version of the Desktop Management Reference Platform.



This structure supports version control, release mangement, system and application verification and integration, development and verification of standard and custom application stacks, and automated deployment and maintenance of the appropriate disk images.

The goal is to use POWER architecture as the application server, image server and end-user system.

(The diagram uses an illustration of an earlier version of the POWER Open Desktop Worstation and Open Server Wordstation. It also shows Debian as the Linux OS. Current plans would be to use Open Solaris, Gentoo or possibly SUSE because of their existing inclusion of a broader systems environment.)
