What's Included in Carbon Copy Solution
Carbon Copy Solution contains two usage models: a Web-hosted solution and a Windows utility. Prior to installation, you should choose which model best fits your needs:

• The Web-hosted solution is an Altiris eXpress product that integrates with Notification Server to create a unified management environment. This model provides a Web-hosted console, centralized client deployment and configuration, Web-based reports, and notification policies, as described above.

• The Windows utility model has two components that are installed as standalone utilities. The components can be maintained independently for use in small workgroups or at an organizational level. The Windows utility does not include deployment, configuration, and reporting features.
