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.

Definition and Supporting Data

A.

 

 

 

 

 

 

DMP incoming

Either the maximum transfer rate that you defined for DMS-CD or the result of

 

transfer rate

 

 

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 factors1 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?

(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?
