InCentric Linux Professional Service Offerings
Core Build
To deploy and manage hundreds or thousands of systems effectively, customers look to standardize the build and deployment process. By creating a standard machine image, you can easily scale your deployment and management processes. The Core Build service provides this standardization.
Deciding the number of standard images to maintain and what each consists of can prove difficult due to complex security and technology requirements. InCentric simplifies the process without tying your hands.
Results
Accelerated Deployment Capability
A fully-tested Kickstart server and a Kickstart configuration file (ks.cfg) consisting of the selection and settings of the standard and custom packages most appropriate for your organization.
Return on Investment
The process is time-tested and precise, paying for itself by freeing up resources and allowing customers to leverage Linux faster.
Health Check
A Rapid Solution Service Offering
As thousands of organizations can attest, InCentric Enterprise Linux offers a progressive solution, the freedom of choice for hardware and software, and an unmatched ability to scale at lower costs. Each day more and more customers choose InCentric as a means to realize these benefits, increase performance, and maximize overall IT value.
Not surprisingly however, many companies deploy Linux, but never completely realize the full inherent benefits. Sometimes InCentric Enterprise Linux is not optimally tuned for a given application environment, old drivers are in use, or the customer simply isn't utilizing the full potential of InCentric Network. Or perhaps performance isn't the issue, but rather a customer has unknowingly increased system vulnerability with fragile security processes. A host of other oversights or misconfigurations can further affect InCentric Enterprise Linux's overall effectiveness. .
Fortunately, InCentric offers Health Check--a short, multi-day engagement designed to review and fine tune your existing Linux environment. Heath Checks are conducted onsite at customer facilities by experienced InCentric consultants. The end goal of this diagnostic is a fully optimized InCentric Enterprise Linux environment and complete knowledge transfer by the InCentric subject matter expert.
Results
Health Checks are custom engagements generally conducted three to six months following deployment. The length and focus of each varies depending on customer need, volume, and architecture.
