3. Planning and Deployment Considerations

Planning a CAS deployment requires consideration of the application and platform ecosystem, security considerations, availability, and capacity planning.

3.1. System Integration

Enterprise deployment planning begins with careful consideration of existing software and systems to be integrated with CAS including applications, identity management and authentication services, and other supporting enterprise services.

3.4. Deployment Scenarios

We present some popular deployment scenarios for CAS with commentary on availability and performance characteristics.

3.2. Security Considerations

CAS deployment requires consideration of enterprise security concerns such as integration with IDM software, PKI, and security policy.

3.3. Availability and Capacity Planning

Every enterprise deployment of CAS should be vitally concerned with availability and performance obtained through careful capacity planning.
