• Why Qlik Deployment Console?

– Setting up server instances with one click based on templates
– Global monitoring across all Sense sites and instances
– Mixed environment with virtual and physical nodes
– Transfer content between sites and environments (Dev / Test / Prod)

• Supports to date Amazon (AWS), Vmware (vSphere) and physical servers.

• Qlik Deployment Console is separately installed

• Create rules for selective synchronization across geographies
• Promote apps between sites/environments via the Qlik Deployment Console
• Mix environments (virtual, physical and cloud) are managed and deployed via
the Qlik Deployment Console
