You can deploy Sun Management Center software in two different environments:
Production environment
Developer environment
The production environment is an active environment in which you manage and monitor your hardware, including subsystems, components, and peripheral devices.
In contrast, the developer environment is a test, or demonstration, environment that developers can use to develop and test modules to work with the Sun Management Center software. While the developer environment might appear to be a production environment, its sole purpose is to be an environment in which developers create Sun Management Center modules.
