1.1 Considerations for Deployment of a SUSE Linux Enterprise Server

At the beginning of the planning process, you should try to define the project goals and needed features. This must be done individually for each project, but the questions to answer should include the following:

  • How many installations should be done? Depending on this, the best deployment method differs. See also Section 2.0, Deployment Strategies.

  • Will the system be in a hostile environment? Have a look at Section 50.0, Security and Confidentiality to get an overview of consequences.

  • How will you get regular updates? All patches are provided online for registered users. Find the registration and patch support database at http://www.novell.com/suselinuxportal.

  • Do you need help for your local installation? Novell provides training, support, and consulting for all topics around SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. Find more information about this at http://www.novell.com/products/linuxenterpriseserver/.

  • Do you need third-party products? Make sure that the required product is also supported on the desired platform. Novell can also provide help to port software to different platforms when needed.
