IBM Remote Deployment Manager 4.40 is a deployment tool that integrates into the IBM Director systems management product. It is used primarily for the deployment of software and firmware images, including the operating system, in a preboot environment. This product helps automate operating system deployment to large numbers of systems and helps reduce costs associated with managing remote, dispersed IT assets.

IBM Remote Deployment Manager 4.40 is the continuation of Remote Deployment Manager V4.30, utilizing new technology from TPM for OS Deployment, but continuing to provide the familiar user interface and the integration with IBM Director. This latest release of the IBM System x server network deployment tool is based on the industry standards such as Wake On LAN (WOL) and the Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE).
