The Deployment Planning Guide for Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition contains the information that you need to plan a directory service deployment. This guide describes the initial decisions that you need to make on issues such as data types, access control, and sizing. It also provides high-level examples and strategies that you can use for the specific requirements of your enterprise.
This guide is primarily intended for deployment architects and business planners responsible for the analysis and design of directory service deployments. This guide is also useful for system integrators and other people responsible for the design and implementation of enterprise applications.
This book does not provide information about installing the software. For installation information, see the Installation Guide for Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition.
If you are migrating from an older version of Directory Server or Directory Proxy Server, see the Upgrade and Migration Guide for Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition for instructions on migrating servers. If you are unfamiliar with the new features in this version, it might be useful to read the Evaluation Guide for Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition for an overview of the new features.
Part I, "Overview of Deployment Planning" provides an introduction to Directory Server Enterprise Edition and explains the steps involved in planning a deployment (solution life cycle).
Part II, "Technical Requirements" describes the technical requirements that must be defined for a Directory Server Enterprise Edition deployment.
Part III, "Logical Design" provides sample logical architectures that are based on typical Directory Server Enterprise Edition deployment scenarios.
Part IV, "Advanced Deployment Topics" discusses specialized deployment topics.
