Plan Your Deployment

This section provides guidelines to assess your organization's needs and suggested deployment scenarios. By evaluating your needs before you deploy your BusinessObjects Enterprise system, you can keep troubleshooting to a minimum. Deployment examples are suggested, but it is important to note that each deployment is unique. The flexibility of the BusinessObjects Enterprise service-based architecture allows you to tailor your deployment to serve your organization's requirements.

Planning your deployment involves the following steps:

1. See your CA Technologies product documentation and the BusinessObjects Enterprise Supported Platforms documents on the CA Business Intelligence DVD to identify system requirements.
2. Review the key concepts you must consider for your deployment including operating system, database, and application server considerations, security, performance and scalability, and high availability.
