Process 1: Deploy Core Components
The first process in deployment is to deploy the core technology.

Activities: Deploy Core Components
IT solutions usually require supporting infrastructure in which to deploy and operate. Infrastructure examples include domain controllers, e-mail servers, remote access servers, and database servers. Although users don’t interact directly with the infrastructure, the solution usually depends on it. Project teams can deploy the core technology before or in parallel with the solution, depending on the solution’s requirements.

Activities
Considerations
Deploy the solution infrastructure to production
Key questions:
- Can the project team deploy core technology in parallel with the solution, or must the team deploy core technology in advance of the solution?
- Did the project team begin deploying core components earlier in the project lifecycle, such as during the pilot test performed in stabilizing?
- Has the project team documented a strategy for deploying the infrastructure?
- Does the project team have experience deploying similar infrastructures?
Inputs:
- Final release, including:
- Solution deliverables.
- Solution documentation.
- Master project plan, including the deployment plan
Outputs:
- Core components deployed sign-off sheet
- Best Practices:
- Ensure there is a processed Request for Change (RFC) before introducing this change (core components deployment) to production environment to guarantee a smooth release cycle.
