Overview Server technology Deployment process Maintenance Vendor partnership Question and answers
Server Technology • Server technology • Client server • Failover clusters • Virtualization • Cloud
Server Technology • Internal infrastructure • Client servers • 2-tier architectures • 3-tier architectures
Server Technology Failover clusters
Server Technology • Failover clusters • High availability • Enterprise deployments and large sites
Server Technology • Physical hardware • Processors, memory, chipset, I/O devices, etc. • Resources often grossly underutilized • Software • Tightly coupled to physical hardware • Single active OS instance • OS controls hardware Virtualization
Server Technology What is a virtual server? • Software abstraction • Behaves like hardware • Encapsulates all OS and application state • Virtualization layer • Extra level of indirection • Decouples hardware, OS • Enforces isolation • Multiplexes physical hardware across VMs
Server Technology Public vs. Private Cloud
Server Technology • Cloud • Pay-per-usage • Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) • Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) • Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) • Availability, reliability & security • Hardware / IT staffing
Deployment Process Application requirements Dedicated environments Server requirements Platform requirements Client requirements
Deployment Process • Application requirements • Hardware and network • Software licenses • Security policies • IT staff
Deployment Process • Dedicated environments • Development • Validation (Test/QA) • Production
Deployment Process • Server requirements • Performance • Storage • Availability • Support staff
Deployment Process • Platform requirements • Operating systems • Microsoft Windows, Linux, Sun • Database’s • Microsoft SQL, Oracle • Browsers • Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox
Deployment Process • Client requirements • Operating systems • Microsoft Windows • Vista, Windows 7 • Browsers • Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox
Deployment Process GAMP System Lifecycle
Deployment Process • User Requirements • Functional Requirements • Design / Configuration • Qualification • Server Qualification • Installation Qualification • Operational and/or Performance Qualification • Traceability Matrix
Deployment Process • User Requirements • What the system is supposed to do • Normally written by the user • May be sent to suppliers as part of the vendor selection process which should include • All essential requirements (musts) • If possible a prioritized set of desirable requirements (wants) • Requirements should be linked to Performance Qualification
Deployment Process • Functional Requirements • Normally written by the supplier • Describes the detailed functions of the system, i.e., what the system will do • An initial version of the FS may be produced as part of the supplier response • Further revisions of the FS are prepared in conjunction with the user • Links to Operation Qualification, which tests all the functions specified
Deployment Process • Design and configuration • Configure your system to closely match your current and ideal procedures • Amount of configuration will depend on the amount of flexibility in your selected system • A configuration document should be created
Deployment Process • Server Qualification • When implementing a calibration management software and validating it in a GxPcompliant environment • Verify that your computer hardware and network can support the system you’re implementing • Understand where investments in computing hardware will have the greatest impact on the user end or on the network or server side
Deployment Process • Installation Qualification (IQ) • Documented verification that a system is installed according to written and pre-approved specifications
Deployment Process • Operational Qualification (OQ) • Documented verification that a system operates according to written and pre-approved specifications throughout all specified operating ranges
Deployment Process • Performance Qualification (PQ) • Documented verification that a system is capable of performing or controlling the activities of the processes it is required to perform or control, according to written and pre-approved specifications, while operating in its specified operating environment
Deployment Process • Traceability Matrix • Maps the user requirements to: • User Requirements • Functional Requirements • Installation Qualification (IQ) • Operational Qualification (OQ) • Performance Qualification (PQ)
Deployment Process • Validation final report • The validation final report is a summary of the evidence leading to the conclusion that the system has been successfully validated
Maintenance Backups Updates and patches Performance monitoring Change management Periodic review
Maintenance • Backups • Define backup schedule • Define what type of backups • Storage of backups • Test backups
Maintenance • Updates and patches • OS updates • Application updates
Maintenance • Performance monitoring • Determine your monitoring goals • Choose the appropriate tool for the type of monitoring you will perform • Identify the events to monitor • Determine the event data to capture
Maintenance • Change management • The goal is to enable change while ensuring compliance • The process should be well documented in an approved procedure
Maintenance • Change management • Follows the same lifecycle processes • Planning • Specification • Configuration • Verification • Reporting • All of these activities should be well documented for each change
Maintenance • Periodic review • Maintaining the validated state involves:
