Abstract
Various embodiments include systems, methods, and software that leverage shared binary storage for several purposes. Such purposes, in some embodiments, include reduced deployment overhead in terms of data to transport, time to instantiate, and reduction, if not elimination, of redundancies and conflicts of and between software system components and configurations, such as by sharing single instances of binary files persisted in deployment units and avoiding duplicates thereof. In some such embodiments, deployment units of a software system, such as an ERP or other enterprise-class software system, are stored in a system database or other central data storage entity. In response to a request to instantiate a system based on the deployment units, the deployment units are staged in memory, metadata to facilitate deployment on a server is written, the deployment units and metadata are transmitted to each server to which deployment is requested, and the deployed system is started.
