Steps for planning an enterprise deployment

To ensure a successful enterprise deployment, you can create and follow a detailed deployment plan.

To plan for an enterprise deployment, follow these steps:
  1. Identify the attributes of systems where you plan to install Connect:Direct®. Attributes can include operating system type and the attributes of the Connect:Direct servers, such as users and netmaps.
  2. Define one or more groups of systems with common attributes.
  3. Create a deployment package for each group of systems.
  4. Incorporate site-specific security considerations.
  5. Deploy and verify the installation package for each group on a test system with identical deployment attributes.
  6. Deploy and verify each group deployment package on all systems in the group.
