Failover clusters
Server Technology
 Failover clusters
– High availability
– Enterprise deployments and large sites
Server Technology
Virtualization
 Physical hardware
– Processors, memory, chipset,
I/O devices, etc.
– Resources often grossly
underutilized
 Software
– Tightly coupled to physical
hardware
– Single active OS instance
– OS controls hardware
Server Technology
What is a virtual server?
 Software abstraction
– Behaves like hardware
– Encapsulates all OS and
application state
 Virtualization layer
– Extra level of indirection
– Decouples hardware, OS
– Enforces isolation
– Multiplexes physical hardware
across VMs
Server Technology
Public vs. Private Cloud
Server Technology
 Cloud
– Pay-per-usage
• Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS)
• Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS)
• Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)
– Availability, reliability & security
– Hardware / IT staffing

Traceability Matrix
Deployment Process
 User Requirements
– What the system is supposed to do
– Normally written by the user
– May be sent to suppliers as part of the vendor
selection process which should include
• All essential requirements (musts)
• If possible a prioritized set of desirable requirements
(wants)
– Requirements should be linked to Performance
Qualification
Deployment Process
 Functional Requirements
– Normally written by the supplier
– Describes the detailed functions of the system, i.e.,
what the system will do
– An initial version of the FS may be produced as part
of the supplier response
– Further revisions of the FS are prepared in
conjunction with the user
– Links to Operation Qualification, which tests all the
functions specified
Deployment Process
 Design and configuration
– Configure your system to closely match your current
and ideal procedures
– Amount of configuration will depend on the amount of
flexibility in your selected system
– A configuration document should be created
Deployment Process
 Server Qualification
– When implementing a calibration management
software and validating it in a GxP compliant
environment
– Verify that your computer hardware and network can
support the system you’re implementing
– Understand where investments in computing
hardware will have the greatest impact on the user
end or on the network or server side
Deployment Process
 Installation Qualification (IQ)
– Documented verification that a system is installed
according to written and pre-approved specifications
Deployment Process
 Operational Qualification (OQ)
– Documented verification that a system operates
according to written and pre-approved specifications
throughout all specified operating ranges
Deployment Process
 Performance Qualification (PQ)
– Documented verification that a system is capable of
performing or controlling the activities of the
processes it is required to perform or control,
according to written and pre-approved specifications,
while operating in its specified operating environment
Deployment Process
 Traceability Matrix
– Maps the user requirements to:

Deployment Process
 Validation final report
– The validation final report is a summary of the
evidence leading to the conclusion that the system
has been successfully validated

–
Define backup schedule
Define what type of backups
Storage of backups
Test backups
Maintenance
 Updates and patches
– OS updates
– Application updates
Maintenance
 Performance monitoring
– Determine your monitoring goals
– Choose the appropriate tool for the type of monitoring
you will perform
– Identify the events to monitor
– Determine the event data to capture
Maintenance
 Change management
– The goal is to enable change while ensuring
compliance
– The process should be well documented in an
approved procedure
Maintenance
 Change management
– Follows the same lifecycle processes
•

Planning
Specification
Configuration
Verification
Reporting
– All of these activities should be well documented for
each change
Maintenance
 Periodic review
– Maintaining the validated state involves:
