Competa provides mixed services to improve infrastructure

The Business Problem

A Dutch government organisation manages large amounts of sensitive information and relies on 24 x 7 uptime of secure databases. Core IT systems needed upgrading. Requirements included high uptime and reliability, future scalability and ease of maintenance.

Competa Services and Solutions

Competa consultants designed, built and implemented a completely new environment based on SuSE Linux running on HP servers and connected to EMC storage. The system was designed specifically to accommodate large ORACLE database instances and equipped with monitoring software and multiple levels of redundancy to ensure operational reliability.

One of our senior consultants trained government staff to perform routine systems maintenance, and a Competa Support contract is in place to cover third line support and disaster contingency.

The Result

By taking advantage of a combination of consultancy, training and Support services, the Dutch government has improved IT infrastructure performance and scalability, and ensured cost-effective operational reliability.
