Siebel Server Installation Guide for Microsoft Windows > Preparing for the Installation >

Planning Your Siebel Deployment

---

For a successful installation of Siebel eBusiness Applications you need to determine the following:

Who will be on the deployment team?
How many users, and how many different groups, will you need to support?
For each Enterprise Server you install you need to know:
If you operate a heterogeneous server environment, which operating system will you use on the servers for this Enterprise—Microsoft Windows or a supported UNIX version?
How many different Siebel Servers will your Enterprise need, and what services will they provide? (See Dedicating Siebel Servers for Specific Services.)
Will you need to install load-balancing to manage this Enterprise? Read about connection brokering in Implementing Load-Balancing with Central Dispatch.
How many servers, if any, will you operate as part of a cluster? See Implementing Load-Balancing with Central Dispatch.
How many computers will you need to run the different servers your enterprise will require? (Read about planning the number and types of servers you deploy in Planning the Topology of Your Siebel Deployment.)
Where should you locate the servers for best connectivity and maintenance? (Read about planning the layout of your servers in Planning the Topology of Your Siebel Deployment.)
Will you implement communications functionality associated with Siebel Communications Server (such as CTI/voice, email, and Web collaboration) and related modules?
