Installations
can be difficult. They require systems administration and management
resources that are needed for day to day tasks. There is a simple
solution. Bring in someone who loves to do installations to handle the
extra work and do knowledge transfer.
All kinds of work go into an installation. Does the
operating system need to be upgraded? What are the kernel parameters
needed for the next version of Oracle? Can we use Ignite/UX to shorten
the installation time.
We've successfully used Ignite imaging to
drastically cut down the time it takes to get multiple systems into
production. We work hard on an image server, get everything working the
way its needed and then replicate the configuration to other servers
using Golden Images, cutting installation lead times by as much as 75%.
We can help you develop and implement quality
assurance programs to make sure your core applications work the instant
the systems are transferred over. Test plans are your friend,
especially if we help you write and implement them.
We can help you pick the right level of service for
your organization. Some systems need 24 by 7 response. Others can be
moved into less costly categories. ServiceGuard and other technologies
can be used to make a group of machines form a cluster that is less
likely to go off line.
Did you know if you are running very old hardware,
its possible to craft an upgrade plan that pays for itself in support
cost savings in three or four years? We can craft just such a plan.
