but I'm still not 100% sure which is the more correct answer in this context. Still awaiting response from client. Will therefore have to close, but will add any additional info if I get some, for future reference. Thanks to Per and Frode for your efforts.

You could always cheat and use "deployed and commissioned" :-) .

"commissioning" does seem to be used in this context of virtual servers. Example: "The virtual environment allows servers to be commissioned in ten minutes versus up to three weeks prior to virtualization. " (http://www.cwhonors.org/viewCaseStudy.asp?NominationID=98). My problem is that I'm not 100% sure what the Norwegian term truly entails in this context. In other contexts I'm sure "product launch" would apply, but obviously not here. Will sleep on it, but I think you may well be right.

While I agree with Per to a certain extent, in this case we're talking about virtual servers stored as image files. You'd still need to "deploy" them first before you can commission them.

Your text seems to be about pre-configured servers that can be stored in place, ready to launch into production when required. To me, the process of putting the servers in place would be deployment, while the launch into production would be commissioning.

I find IT companies like this one http://www.sculptor.no/index-filer/Page828.htm who translate "produksjonssetting" with "deployment", then I find Husbanken translating "produksjonssetting" with "transition" and "utrulling" with "deployment"!! But I'm still tending towards "deployment", based on, for example, this MS article on Deploying and Configuring Instances (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa259262(SQL.80).as...
