While IT teams should always refer to the official vendor documentation for a given tool, this paper provides a high-level comparison across multiple vendors and technologies to highlight how they are similar, how they are different, and how differences can affect the firmware update process. To avoid such confusion, it is important to know the many tools, features, and capabilities provided by the various vendors and operating systems. This can create a potentially confusing landscape for IT teams as they try to maintain firmware across their many devices and components.
Different operating systems have different capabilities and play differing roles in the update of system and component firmware.
The tools and techniques used to update firmware on a device can vary considerably from one vendor to the next, and often even between different products from a single vendor. Each individual device can contain dozens of individual firmware components that need to be kept up to date - the system UEFI firmware, drives, network adapters, server BMCs, and much more. Part two of Eclypsium’s series on best practices for firmware updates focuses on the tools and techniques used by the enterprise IT teams tasked with implementing update processes.Įnterprise IT teams must maintain firmware on a wide variety of devices, ranging from end-user laptops to fleets of servers and networking gear.
