Product Upgrades
Opmantek uses an Agile development methodology in product development and releases several product updates every quarter. It is up to you as to how often these updates are installed, but we recommend at least a semiannual, if not quarterly basis in order to obtain the most recent features and bug fixes.
If you have started with the Opmantek Virtual Machine (VM) you should check the vm's /omk page for upgrade availability.

Server Maintenance
Product Upgrades only affect Opmantek products, and any components directly required. It does NOT update or patch the server OS, or third party applications like Apache or Mongo DB. You should make arrangements with your IT or server support team to manage server patching in accordance with your company's guidelines and expectations.
