Product provisioning
In any software deployment process, there are two main phases: provisioning and configuration.
So, what is product provisioning ? And what exactly is meant by product?
In information technology, the definition of product is simply a digital entity that is created and made available to customers.
For example, a product can be a software application.
As to provisioning, it is defined as the ensemble of operations that take place in the process of creating a new product and bringing it to a working state.
In fact, there are different types of provisioning: server provisioning, cloud provisioning, user provisioning, network provisioning and device provisioning.

Product provisioning types
Server provisioning
Server provisioning is the installation and deployment process of a server in order to make it operational.
This could mean a physical on-premises server or a cloud-based server.
Server provisioning refers to initially installing physical hardware as well as configuring software, operating systems and applications.
In this phase, the IT team also installs device drivers and partitioning tools and sets parameters such as IP addresses.
Any partitioning procedures or virtualization software installations happen in this phase.
Afterwards, the enterprise’s software and applications are connected to the middleware, networks and storage.
As to cloud-based servers, a cloud provider such as DigitalCook provides tools for users to make it easier to configure this process, or sets up an automation process for server provisioning.

This model only requires businesses to handle the applications and data.
The rest of the components like runtime, middleware, operating systems, servers or storage are handled by the cloud service provider.
Finally, Software as a Service, commonly referred to as SaaS, in this service model software and hardware requirements are satisfied by the cloud provider.
All components of the cloud solution are handled by the cloud service provider.
Each of these cloud models offers various services and functionalities.
Whether you need the features of an Infrastructure as a Service model, Platform as a Service model or Software as service model, DigitalCook’s cloud experts are dedicated to assisting you in all your cloud computing operations.

User provisioning
It’s a natural process for any business to onboard or offboard employees as well as promote older ones or demote them.
A company can also have partners, collaborators, contractors, vendors and customers.
The entities that the enterprise deals with are constantly changing and growing.
Evidently, they would need user accounts to access the company’s system.
Manually creating and managing these users accounts could take up a lot of time and resources and therefore become problematic for the business’s productivity and output.

Evidently, they would need user accounts to access the company’s system.
Manually creating and managing these users accounts could take up a lot of time and resources and therefore become problematic for the business’s productivity and output.
User provisioning refers to providing these users with access to hardware, data, application and/ or software depending on their roles and in an automated fashion.
Through this process, user accounts are created, given proper permissions, modified, and deleted.
Users’ information is collected and imported to the Human Resources or HR system and connected to corresponding accounts in the target system.
The software is then configured to automatically update the information if any changes occur.
As opposed to the manual method, user provisioning saves time and money.
In addition, it upgrades your security measures and accuracy since all user account operations are handled automatically and human error is therefore avoided.

Network provisioning
Before operating on a network, an organization needs to make sure its network is well set up and operational.
Network provisioning refers to the procedure of setting up and configuring the network in order to make it accessible to users, devices, containers and servers.
Device and identity management are the main matters of network provisioning.
The reason for this is to eventually ensure effective connectivity and high security.
In order to be a progressive organization and compete with leading enterprises in today’s connected world, your company’s network needs to be able to handle high activity and device number growth.
Your company’s network infrastructure needs to be flexible and expandable.

Device provisioning
This type of provisioning concerns all hardware components.
Hardware must be configured, secured and customized before being deployed and made available for use. Device provisioning is different from user provisioning.
Different devices are not associated to user accounts to make the deployment process more flexible.
This ensures a thorough and detailed device management process.
In DigitalCook, we ensure an effective device provisioning process by configuring and deploying your devices to fit your company’s services in the best way.
This leads to time-saving and cost-effectiveness.
Consequently, your company’s overall performance will improve thanks to our device provisioning services.
