Chapter 6. Real world deployment
scenarios
In a real-world environment, there will normally be (at least) a development
environment and a production environment. Depending on network capacity
between sites, and requirements for deployment and restore-time, it may prove
more practical with one production server for each site.
This chapter provides information about setting up an environment consisting of
a central environment for development and testing with several production
servers distributed to local sites. It is also explained how newly created profiles,
software packages and deployment schemes are staged from development/test
to production servers.
In this chapter we also discuss implementation, architecture, and common
challenges of the point-of-sale environment. Subjects such as server sizing and
placement, distributions using unicast and multicast, firewalls, and security
considerations are discussed.
