Patent ID: 7657887

Claim:
A computer readable storage medium encoded with instructions, which when loaded into a digital computational device establishes a content deployment system comprising: a plurality of nodes connected in a network topology wherein each node communicates with at least one other node via a secure connection, said plurality of nodes including: at least one sender configured both to receive content and deploy content to other nodes across network domains and platforms; and at least one receiver configured to receive deployed content; an administration module for management of content deployments; a base server, said base server comprising a sender, configured to receive content for deployment to any network touchpoint from at least one content repository; a module for defining and implementing routed and/or multi-tiered content deployments, said module for defining and implementing routed and/or multi-tiered content deployments comprising a deployment configuration composer; means for making transactional content deployments and rolling them back in case of failure; and an intelligent delivery module, wherein said intelligent delivery module enables a base server to use content attributes for smart distribution and syndication, wherein said intelligent delivery module comprises an offer/subscription management layer, said offer/subscription management layer including: means for creating an offer, wherein an offer defines a content source and a metadata query for identifying relevant assets; and means for creating a subscription, wherein a subscription completes deployment rules for an offer, including any of target nodes, schedule, and delivery mechanism; wherein a deployment is defined by means of a deployment configuration, said deployment configuration comprising a file that describes a deployment strategy and wherein said deployment configuration defines multi-tiered deployments by chaining deployments from one tier to the next; wherein said content is transactionally deployed across a plurality of computing devices.
