Contracted during the transition of NetTest's systems to the new Japanese owners Anritsu Group (see
www.anritsu.com).
After performing a deep analysis of their RHEL Platforms, on which the
company core business products lay, conceived and realized a bespoke
Linux distribution creating a completely new Platform that removed the
then current storage limitations and dramatically improved system
performances. The Platforms were based on RHEL4 and realized for
32/64bit DELL & HP servers, include an Oracle DB/AS customized
installation + company's Data Warehouses, all delivered in a single DVD
featured with a whole automatic installation system process. Thus the
user interaction is reduced to the solely initial selection of the
platform desired, guaranteeing following benefits:
-
simplicity: no other user interaction required (a key step!)
-
security: all installations are completed as programmed, without failures and in a consistent status
-
rapidity: also the needed reboot and restart phases are completely programmed & auto-managed
-
reliability:
there has never been opened a trouble ticket for these platforms,
highlighting the capacity to thoroughly test and trouble shoot the
entire process
New installation guide is a 1/3 the previous size,
despite the detailed descriptions of the new systems specs and the
illustrated step-by-step post-install ncurses script, conceived to
perform the main system customizations in few clicks without typing any
shell command.
