Planning
Planning is critical to a successful deployment. Many deployment problems, growth problems, and capacity problems occur because not enough time is taken to carefully plan a deployment. Plan your IBM® Sametime® installation by determining features needed, reviewing system requirements, determining capacity requirements, and the servers and computers needed for your deployment.
Choosing a deployment
Determine the type of Sametime® deployment you need. Do you need a large enterprise deployment, requiring clustering for scalability, failover, and load balancing. Or, do you need a smaller deployment where you install everything on separate computers as a multiple-server configuration. If your deployment is small, do you only need to install your entire deployment on a single server? Use the information in this section to help you determine the size and scope of your Sametime deployment.
