<<I am working with a client to set up their intial hardware for a
software stack. Here's a checklist of best practices.
* Properly plan for infrastructure cost, time, deliverables and
dependences as part of the SOA project plan
* Consider professional services for hardware sizing, software
installation, configuration and certification
* Put the software vendor on the hook to support the initial
architecture, configuration and performance of the infrastructure
* Dedicate an administrator to the SOA infrastructure early in the
project to work with the vendor though the installation,
configuration and testing
* Send the administrator to the administration training courses
* Do a capacity test on the production environment before deployment
* Include deployment and the testing of deployments as part of the
process and deliverables
* Track your systems dependencies and include them in an operations
guide as part of project transition
