About Creating a Site in Service Center
You create sites from within Service Center. The Create Site page guides you through the process of:
- providing site details
- selecting the service delivery model
- whether or not to deploy Device Managers
- downloading the Onsite Manager installation package, if required
A site's service delivery model determines whether you:
- apply a single service plan to the entire site
- apply service plans to groups, or
- bypass service plans altogether
For more information on selecting a service delivery model, see Determining a Service Delivery Model.
When setting up a site, you can automatically deploy Device Managers to laptops. Barracuda Managed Workplace detects the laptop’s operating system and deploys either a Device Manager for Windows devices or a Device Manager for Mac OS X devices.
