Development: Single virtual server in the IS&T virtual farm, configured as test, above.
Support Notes
- IPS actively monitors the SOA environment and we keep the system in a state of continuous improvement.
- Improvements are planned by IPS in conjunction with the MAP Working Group. IPS will not alter systems without the Working Group's knowledge and approval.
- ISDA management is committed to improving the SOA offering to MIT and we will not enter into a support-only mode for the foreseeable future.
- Based on the performance of new services that are introduced to the system, we can add additional servers into the topology. Staging will always match production in its configuration.
- Staging environments are in the same place as production and behind the same F5 so that, should one machine experience a critical failure, staging environments can be promoted forward to handle the load.
- Test environments are in a different data center. In the result of a catastrophic failure in the production data center, IPS will convert test machines into production. These will not provide the same level of performance.
