The Sun ONE Messaging Server Practices and Techniques for Enterprise Customers book is published under the auspices of the Sun BluePrints program. This book is a collection of practices and techniques for deploying a messaging system. These practices and techniques have been gathered from many customers' messaging system deployments and internal testing labs. The book covers some things that advanced users might believe is common knowledge but is not. The goal of this book is to make the administration of Sun Open Net Environment (Sun ONE) Messaging Server (formerly known as iPlanet Messaging Server) easier by collecting this knowledge and organizing it as you might encounter it during the deployment of a messaging project, that is, from planning to day-to-day operation.
Sun ONE Messaging Server Practices and Techniques for Enterprise Customers is modeled after the typical process an enterprise uses to deploy its messaging infrastructure, from the initial planning steps to day-to-day operations. It follows a basic systems development life cycle (SDLC) for an enterprise messaging system—planning, testing, deployment, and maintenance. Each of these phases addresses practices and techniques to enhance availability, performance, and ease of use.
