I recently dinged Ektron for its lack of native deployment capabilities. Well, the company has just announced a new site replication tool that is designed to allow customers to develop proper dev, staging, and production environments, as well as load balancing at the delivery tier. The module is brand new and merits close testing before rolling it out to end-users, but it represents a promising step-up for a vendor that continues to add advanced services at a relatively low price-point.
