Easy Deployment – Startup Pack

13

Integrate software into the directory Do appropriate DNS entries to support the system Configure SSL (this does require a customer provided CA signed wildcard SSL certificate) Configure basic branding (customer colors/logos) on the login page and user interface Integrate up to four supported file service nodes Integrate and configure single sign-on for up to six supported applications (Windows applications will require

one of the following:  app to be installed on the local client, customer provided MS RDS server (terminal server) with app installed, or customer provided application virtualization software)

Configure password reset Configure remote desktop feature Configure teamPages in pilot mode (a separate database server will be required for production mode – server

can be existing in customer environment or dedicated for webNetwork) Configure logging and auditing  in pilot mode (a separate database server will be required for production mode

– server can be existing in customer environment or dedicated for webNetwork)

Unified Cloud decides the best way to deliver services Context aware to enable delivery based on:

– Key hardware and/or user interface

– Optimal user experience

– Licensing availability & requirements

IT no longer needs to stitch together a variety of point products (SSO, Portal, Remote File Access, Security, Remote Access, Reporting, Management) to create a cloud experience

– webNetwork leverages your current investment in directory services and existing IT infrastructure
