In this chapter, you used some of the best practices for installing a robust setup for ArcGIS for Server. There were three tracks. The Testing Installation Track features a simple and typical installation with minimum configuration for testing the technology, The Production Installation Track has comprehensive explanations of all the options in Server—we covered the best practices for the configurations that should and shouldn't be used depending on your requirements. Finally, in the last track you learnt how to set up and configure Server specifically for virtualized environments.

In the next chapter, we will learn how to author and publish web services for ArcGIS for Server.
