  12. Usage and Deployment

  13. Service ‘for here’ • Installed (Virtual) Machine • OS (with root login) • Requested Bricks • Automatic updates • Upgrades on demand • Documentation on our Website • Option to obtain installation after isginf terminates support

  14. Deliverables ‘to go’ (DIY) • Packages • RPMs for Red Hat • MSIs for Windows • Configuration Files • Data Sets • Documentation (on our Website)

  15. Support • Full support during deployment • Support limited to bug fixes after new version is out • Unsupported iiBricks can still be obtained ‘to go’ Development Supported but not deployed Unsupported Deployment Current Version Upgrade Path Deployment Development Next Version t

  16. Deployment • Various Deployment Options • Set up complete deployment at your site • Maintained and hosted on our systems • Remote install from our setup (detached after installation) • Virtual Machine Image • Virtual Machine Recommended • More migration options • ID VMWare service

  17. Project

  18. Project Status • Not as far as we would like • Bricks already completed and in production • iiWS5, iiPhorum, iiTWiki • Some to be completed soon • iiAS5, iiTWiki, iiEye, iiWeb, iiRT, iiSVN • Project Website to be opened shortly • ‘Eat your own dogfood’: uses iiAS5

  19. Outlook • Project still at the Beginning • Need to refine policies and business model • Gain experience • Consistent Deployment at D-INFK • Collaboration with other Departments • Feedback
