Step 3: Pilot Deployment The Pilot Deployment step is focused on obtaining feedback from your end-users in an environment as close to production as possible-does the solution meet their needs? Pilot Deployments typically range from 10-50 systems. Your IT department will take the lead in setting up the Pilot Deployment, and will train your end-users to use the solution. Your IT department will also monitor ongoing use of the solution to detect and resolve any problems that might otherwise affect Production Deployment. The checkpoint following the Pilot Deployment is to determine if the blade workstation solution is ready to be deployed into your production environment. Information collected during the Pilot Deployment is applied to help optimize Production Deployment. Step 4: Production Deployment In this final step, the complete blade workstation solution is rolled out to your end-users, who will begin using the solution in a production environment. Support will be provided by your IT department. HP recommends that a final checkpoint be conducted early in Production Deployment to do any fine tuning that's necessary.
