Getting Started Implementation Rollout Maintenance

EMC Documentum Deployment: 50,000 Foot Overview

Getting Started Activities

Create a well defined planSet clear goalsEnsure deployment is business criticalAppoint an executive sponsor and championResearch roadmapsPrepare your people Plan your technical infrastructureProcure your hardwareGather Requirements



Getting Started Challenges

Resource dedicationSufficient skill sets Infrastructure and hardware set-up

Multiple servers Current and future needsSizingDeployment environments



VMware Solutions for Getting Started

Developer’s SandboxVM templates and cloningConsolidated, dedicated and secured developer environmentsInteroperability across multiple OS environmentsInfrastructure validation



Implementation Activities

Configure ApplicationDevelop CustomizationsTest ApplicationPractice Change ManagementMigrate Legacy DataValidate System

Implementation Maintenance


Getting Started Rollout

Implementation Challenges

Getting end user buy inCreating Golden EnvironmentsStreamlining all development & testing cycles




VMware Solutionsfor Implementation

Create “Crash and Burn” test boxesPass development images directly to and from testConsolidate multiple test environments on same systemReset test bed in minutesSave multiple versions and stages of test images




Roll Out Activities

Create support planDeploy graduallyTrain end usersEvaluate deployment




Roll Out Challenges

Handle deployment issuesKeeping dev/test servers around

Real time scaling Handling changing HA requirementsDisaster planning




VMware Solutions for Roll Out

Rapidly provision new production servers from templatesConsolidate multiple EMC Documentum products onto single physical systemMove test/staging images to production in minutesPool and manage resourcesImplement high availability and disaster recovery




Maintenance Activities

Upgrades and service packsPatchesBackup recoveryScaling




Maintenance Challenges

VMware Solutions for Maintenance

Concurrently test patches on multiple configurationsRapidly replicate production environmentInstantly rollback EMC Documentum VMsIndependently add/upgrade EMC Documentum applicationsEasily create a library of production configurations Dynamically migrate EMC Documentum VM instances




The Power of “And”

Documentum and VMware together:Can Speed Up Your Deployment Can Reduce the Time and Cost of Your DeploymentWe Know This From First Hand Experience

eRoom Product Operations • 30 images on one box!Webtop, Server Product Operations• Regression Test Cycle Shortened 67%Sales Demo Hosted Solution• Saved nearly $1000000“Lab In a Box”

Lab In a Box

Objective: Create lab for complex 3 tier networked application Replicable amongst many users in many geographiesComponent swapability to physical counterpart

ChallengesConfiguration State• Machine Names/IP addresses• User Names and PasswordsNetworks• Windows Network Namespace (duplication)• Test environment isolation
