Overview

Background

 Releases of the Coldfusion software are supported by the vendor (Adobe)  for a set period of time (Coldfusion 10 core supports ends on 16/05/2017) To ensure continued vendor support for applications using the Coldfusion infrastructure, a new release need to be installed to allow applications to be migrated to the newer version.

Objectives & Scope

We will look to install to the latest stable and supported version of Coldfusion (currently version 11). This project will implement the relevant infrastructure and latest Coldfusion environment.  One application will be migrated to verify the new Coldfusion Implementation. The project will not be responsible for migrating other applications.

The following tasks will be carried out as part of this project:

- Review Infrastructure requirements, determine infrastructure for new Coldfusion version and setup new Intrastructure if required.

-Request and Implement Coldfusion licence in dev, test and live.

-The application to be migrated will be confirmed during design phase.

- Review Coldfusion documentation for new version and determine if there are any essential changes to the implementation/configuration of Coldfusion 11 which differ from the current Coldfusion 10 environment. (We are looking to implement Coldfusion 11 largely the same as Coldfusion 10 environment other than essential changes that are identified)

-Combined TAD & Operations Doc and Build Document will be produced

- Install and Configure ColdFusion 11 in Dev, Test and Live environments (All environments will be load balanced)

- One application will be migrated to validate new infrastructure.

- DR Test

- Prepare summary document stating support positions of current and future releases of Coldfusion. Required for Road Map.

Not in scope

- Application migrations, other than the application identified to validate Infrastructure, will be handled by subsequent projects.

- A load Test will not be carried out.  Load testing, if deemed necessary, will be carried by subsequent projects utilising the new Infrastructure .

Deliverables

• New version of Coldfusion 11 on Dev, Test and Live [Must Have]
• Combined TAD & Operations Document. [Must Have]
• One Application migrated to validate Coldfusion Infrastructure [Must Have]
• Cold fusion licence in place for dev,test and live [Must Have]
• Coldfusion Road Map [Should Have]

Benefits

We are in a fully supported position moving forward for our main Coldfusion delivery platform

Consequently will be able to ensure security issues are in a position to be addressed with the vendor.

Success Criteria

• New version of Coldfusion 11 on Dev, Test and Live [Must Have]
• Combined TAD & Operations Document.[Must Have]
• Cold fusion licence implemented in dev, test and live [Must Have]
