POC installation

This document shows the requirements of some typical proof of concept installations.

A POC can be make with different setups, depending on the goal of the installation.

The goals could be:

• test Open-Xchange in general
• test with existing environment
• test a clustered setup

It should be defined what the customer wants to test:

• webmail/groupware/infostore
• Outlook oxtender
• Business mobility (EAS)
• mobile gui
• everything

	small	medium	cluster
Hardware	VM, 2GB memory	VM, 8GB memory	2x OX 8GB, 2x DB, external IMAP/SMTP, NFS, loadbalancer
Storage	20GB local	40GB local	OX 40GB local, DB 20GB local, NFS 20GB
DB	local	local	2x DB VM/Server
SMTP/IMAP	local/external	local/external	external
OS	one of the supported (Debian6, RHEL5/6, CentOS5, SLES11)

These are the minimum requirements. The used storage depends on the amount of users want to test the POC. A VM can be replaced with real hardware if wanted or run at a service provider in the cloud.

1st questions to customer"

This is usually done during some calls, if not:

Dear Customer,

The proof of concept installation  can be make with different setups, depending on the goal
you have.

please identify the goals:
* test Open-Xchange in general
* test with existing environment
* test a clustered setup

please identify what you want to test:
* webmail/groupware/infostore
* Outlook oxtender
* Business mobility (EAS)
* mobile gui
* everything

The smallest needed setup would be:
VM/real hardware with 2GB of memory, 20GB of local storage, an installed supported OS (Debian6, RHEL5/6, CentOS5, SLES11). If you want to test the system with https (which is recommended) we need a valid certificate for the server installed.

We need access to a working smtp and imap server if you want to send and receive mails. 

Please send us back the following information:
- server address/name
- imap account of the testuser with password
