Contracted during the transition of NetTest's systems to the new Japanese owners
Anritsu Group.
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 and architecture 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
troubleshoot the entire process
New installation guide is a 1/3 the previous size, and it is merely a detailed
description 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.
