New in Nomad 5.0
This new release of Nomad contains two new features related to maximizing the efficiency of distribution of downloads to machines on a branch subnet and enabling single site downloads for multiple subnets over a WAN.
· Nomad FanOut - this feature enables more Nomad Peers to be updated with the download from the Nomad Master by allowing the machines directly connected to the Nomad Master to themselves share out the download.
· Single Site Download - this feature ensures that downloads are performed only once per branch site, not per branch subnet - thereby maximizing the efficient distribution of downloads without using the WAN more than once.
Welcome to Nomad the key software from 1E that increases the efficiency of software and patch distribution and saves you money in the process. It maximizes WAN availability during download by providing features such as: Central Multicast, download once to branch, and download resumption with built-in consistency checking.

Now in its fifth generation Nomad integrates with Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (ConfigMgr), to provide increased resilience and bandwidth throttling and maximize use of advanced features like Remote Differential Compression to make optimal use of any type of network connection with minimal impact on network users. Using Nomad with ConfigMgr you can enable software update capabilities for machines which would have previously been unmanaged.
Nomad reduces the load on the central Distribution Points and eliminates the necessity for local Distribution Points. This allows the ConfigMgr infrastructure to be simplified while still retaining coverage of the entire network and reducing maintenance costs.
Nomad consists of two main components:
· Nomad, the content transfer utility that helps deliver large content efficiently, safely and securely.
· PXE Everywhere v2.1, a tool that helps deliver OS updates to bare metal computers
