Deploying UAG 2010 is a complex process, and customers need to ensure that they get fundamental decisions and actions right from the get go.

The guide will help customers with: “Identifying the access functionality that will be provided by Forefront UAG. Deciding how many instances of Forefront UAG will be required in order to meet the business requirements. Designing the infrastructure needed for each instance of Forefront UAG,” Microsoft stated.
