This section describes how the Redpaper was constructed and provides a summary of the
information that is contained within the chapters.
Regardless of the complexity of your deployment, the greatest factor in how successful a
customer solution will be is how well it is planned. In Chapter 2, "Architecture and planning"
on page 9, we provide a roadmap discuss the planning and design of your WebSphere Portal
environment. Project Managers, Business Sponsors, Software Developers, and other key
stakeholders in your organization are strongly encouraged to review the material covered
here.
Chapter 3, "WebSphere Portal installation" on page 55" covers the installation and
configuration of WebSphere Portal Server using the flexible deployment options for the most
common topologies.
WebSphere Portal Server provides a number of mechanisms to help keep your assets
protected. In Chapter 4, "WebSphere Portal security" on page 85, we discuss the different
components in WebSphere Portal that provide the security features and how they can be
integrated into your infrastructure to provide a secure solution.
A Web portal is an integrated solution that requires the collaboration of many teams to
implement. Any low-peforming part of the integrated solution can cause overall portal
performance degradation. In Chapter 5, "WebSphere Portal runtime and services" on
page 137", we discuss how topology, application design, back- and front-end resources, and
other factors can greatly impact the user experience and provide information about
monitoring tools that can help to prevent bottlenecks.
