Chapter 1 - Introduction Introduction Mobility Services Platform 3.3 (MSP) is being released on CD with a new install interface and simplified instructions for the two most common types of installation. Users that find these two install scenarios inappropriate for their installation of MSP are highly encouraged to contact the MSP Help Desk for assistance. Mobility Services Platform version 3.3 is available in several Editions that allow you to choose to purchase and install just the functionality you need. MSP Stage Edition provides support only for initial deployment of devices. MSP Provision Edition provides all the features of MSP Stage Edition plus the ability to use Provisioning to keep your devices continuously up to date. MSP Control Edition provides all the features of MSP Provision Edition plus the ability to perform Data Collection and optionally Collection Analysis and the ability to perform Actions on selected devices. Depending on the MSP Edition you choose to install, the functionality you elect to use, and the complexity of the enterprise you need to manage, the installation of MSP will vary in complexity. Installing MSP 3.3 Stage or MSP 3.3 Provision Edition will typically be the least demanding. You may choose to use either Microsoft SQL Server Express 2005 or Microsoft SQL Server 2005/2008 Standard or Enterprise edition to host your MSP database. Microsoft SQL Server Express 2005 is license-free, and hence Microsoft offers no support. In addition, Microsoft SQL Server Express 2005 has limitations on maximum database size and generally is not considered an enterprise-class solution. Depending on your situation, you may want to use Microsoft SQL Server 2005/2008 Standard or Enterprise editions even though they require the purchase of licenses from Microsoft. By paying for licenses, you get an enterprise-class solution and support from Microsoft. Installing MSP 3.3 Control Edition without Data Collection is comparable in complexity to installing MSP 3.3 Stage Edition or MSP 3.3 Provision Edition. You may choose to use either Microsoft SQL Server Express 2005 or Microsoft SQL Server 2005/2008 Standard or Enterprise editions to host your MSP database. For the same reasons stated above, it is often advisable to use Microsoft SQL Server 2005/2008 Standard or Enterprise editions to ensure that you have an enterprise-class scalable and supported solution.
