InterSystems Ensemble shares many underlying core technologies with InterSystems Caché. This book refers you to books in both documentation sets. The Caché books are particularly important as you first set up the system. After initial configuration, the Ensemble books become your primary source of information. The following books are the best places to start if you are new to Ensemble:

• Preparing to Use Ensemble provides a road map for installing, upgrading, and getting started with Ensemble.

• Introducing Ensemble provides an overview of product features.

• Ensemble Best Practices describes best practices for designing, developing, and maintaining Ensemble productions.
