Solutions

Chocolatey for Business
Chocolatey for Business (C4B) is the enterprise offering that enables companies to adopt a DevOps approach to managing their Windows environment, allowing you to deliver applications to your users more reliably and faster.

Self-Service Anywhere
Chocolatey provides a unique approach to managing your end-user software (desktops / laptops) and can be combined with your existing solutions. Chocolatey for Business (C4B) enables better security, enhanced visibility with centralized reporting, and a self-service GUI. Self-Service Anywhere allows non-administrators to easily access and manage IT approved software from the office, from home, or anywhere they have an internet connection.
Central Management Deployments
We often hear from System Engineers that they are looking for a simple way to manage Windows endpoints, which also provides advanced functionality when needed. This can be especially important when you need to ensure the most up to date software is deployed (e.g new versions or critical patches). We are excited to add Deployments to Chocolatey Central Management (CCM) which will provide IT teams the ability to easily orchestrate simple or complex scenarios in a fraction of the time over traditional approaches.

Quick Deployment Environment (QDE)
The Quick Deployment Environment (QDE) provides a single virtual machine appliance to be imported into your hypervisor-of-choice, which contains most of the various components of a Chocolatey organizational solution. Deploy recommended architecture in 2-3 hours.
Secure Offline Deployments
Chocolatey customers are some of the largest and most secure organizations in the world. We have created a best-practice solution called Offline Deployments based on our customer's complex IT landscape and security constraints. This Solution Brief describes the Offline Deployment solution and offers a choice of three patterns. The pattern you choose depends on the constraints you have, and those constraints are often security constraints.

Community

Community Packages
Search the largest online registry of Windows packages. Chocolatey packages encapsulate everything required to manage a particular piece of software into one deployment artifact by wrapping installers, executables, zips, and scripts into a compiled package file.
