Gather the Essential Data to Develop a Deployment Strategy
DMS-CD deployments and deployment packages are all unique in their own ways. However, a
repeatable process supports your development of the strategy for any such deployment. After you gather
and record the numeric values that describe key factors, simple arithmetic leads you to a deployment
strategy that we expect should be effective in your network.
The worksheet in this section explains and records these numeric values and guides you through the
simple equations to plan a successful deployment.
Note This worksheet assumes that all targeted DMPs in a deployment have identical network bandwidth capacity
available to them.
Table 19-2 Pre-Planning Worksheet for One DMS-CD Deployment
Factor Definition and Supporting Data
A.
DMP incoming
transfer rate
Either the maximum transfer rate that you defined for DMS-CD or the result of
factors that further constrain this rate.
(A1) What value is in effect for the Maximum Transfer Rate
(Table 19-5 on page 19-22)?
(A2) If any factors
1
reduce bandwidth capacity per DMP to a lower
rate than A1, what is the actual rate?
Q.
The lower of these values is exactly what?
B.
Total data to be
deployed
The product of two values that you multiply.
(B1) In this deployment, the package size per DMP is exactly what?
(B2) This deployment targets exactly how many DMPs that should
receive its package?
Q.
What is the product (in gigabytes) when you multiply B1 by B2?
C.
Maximum
concurrent
deployments
Q.
What value is in effect for the Number of concurrent deployments preference setting?
