+Guide to Large Scale Centralized Deployments
+
+  This guide covers an simple optimized approach to using a
+  {{{../../repository-management.html}repository manager}}
+  in a large organization.
+
+  The pillars of this approach are:
+
+    [[1]] Use a centralized {{{../../repository-management.html}repository manager}}.
+
+          * Maven clients should download needed artifacts from the repository manager.
+
+          * Maven clients should upload proprietary artifacts to the repository manager.
+
+    [[2]] Configure the location to download/upload artifacts in maven <<<settings.xml>>> files,
+          rather than in <<<pom.xml>>> files.
+
+    [[3]] Centrally manage the <<<settings.xml>>> files, and distribute them via automation.
+
+
+* {Repository Manager Layout}
+
+  Repository managers generally have at least three types of repositories:
+
+    [local] contains local artifacts uploaded to the repository manager
+
+    [remote] proxies a remote repository and caches artifacts
+
+    [virtual] aggregates several repositories into one
+
+
+  The simplest way to organize repositories within a repository manager is
+  to have a single virtual repository that aggregates:
+
+    * a remote repository for each public repository to mirror. (For example: Maven Central)
+
+    * a local repository for releases
+
+    * a local repository for snapshots
+
+    * a local repository that can contain both releases and snapshots
+      (see {{{Managing_Uploads_to_the_Repository_Manager}Managing Uploads to the Repository Manager}} for why this repository is needed)
+
+  Separate local repositories are generally used for releases and snapshots
+  due to the need for different artifact retention policies.
+
+
+* {Managing Downloads from the Repository Manager}
+
+  All artifacts used by maven projects in the organization should be downloaded
