HOMEBASE SOLUTION COMMISIONING GUIDE
2 Deployment Planning
Each corporate organisation planning a Homebase deployment will be unique.
The organisational structure will be unique and any IT servers deployed to
support the organisation will by necessity, also, be unique.
The Homebase software suite is straightforward and simple to commission, as
items of software, but to ensure that the business requirement is being satisfied
a level of planning activity for the deployment exercise is required.
The Homebase software suite is a distributed solution, and as such will require
various IT stakeholders to be involved in any deployment planning. Example IT
stakeholders might be: Network Administrators; Server System Operators,
Network Security Planners etc.
Depending on the use that Homebase is being put to with the organisation
different business stakeholders should be consulted as their objectives and
needs out of a deployed Homebase solution.
Installing and configuring Homebase is, in most cases, a straightforward and
simple affair. Any errors in configuration can either be corrected via a simple
restart or, in some cases, can be corrected by altering the configuration directly
in Homebase (normally not requiring a restart).
What this guide attempt to highlight are the some of the choices and some of
the pitfalls in the deployment topology that any organisation should seek to
adopt or avoid accordingly.
