Parallel diagnostic/software installation system
A parallel diagnostic/software installation system includes a computing device, a server device storing computing device software, and a software staging device that is coupled to the server device through a first connection that provides a first maximum transmission rate, and that is coupled to the computing device through a second connection that provides a second maximum transmission rate that is faster than the first transmission maximum rate. The software staging device receives a manifest of computing device software for installation on the computing device and then retrieves, from the server device through the first connection, at least a portion of the computing device software while the computing device is performing a diagnostic test on a first hardware configuration of the computing device. The software staging devices determines that the diagnostic test has completed and, in response, provides, to the computing device through the second connection, the computing device software.
