DEPLOYAR SOFTWARE PESADO EN UN PARQUE ENVEJECIDO GRACIAS A WAPT
PRIVATE SECTOR – B2PWEB
Deploying heavy software on an aging park thanks to WAPT?
We explain everything through the case of Bastien Hermitte, system administrator at B2PWeb: infrastructure, challenges, needs, usage, and benefits with WAPT.
Presentation
Created in 2003, it is a real alternative to the monopoly that existed on the market at the time.
60 administered stations
1 location
3 sysadmin
Problems encountered:
B2P Web is a company that provides a Freight Exchange tool and is growing rapidly. This creates two issues on the information system side. The first one is the configuration of the workstations when a new person arrives in the company. This need was met by the WPKG solution that Bastien HERMITTE, system administrator, used to install the software base of a workstation.
The second problem is more common, it is the one of a classic SME : deploying software and updating it. According to Bastien, WPKG was less adapted to this problematic because maintaining and updating its park was not practical with this tool. Before WAPT, he did the maintenance of the workstations by hand.
Testimony
“Before, I used to do the maintenance of my park by hand, today
I can configure my stations from A to Z and have a view on the status
of the park thanks to the WAPT console. The documentation is very complete, I went several
times and found what I wanted. The Centos part is not very well documented at the moment, but I go to
the mailing list every time I have a problem and I get an answer quickly.”
What WAPT has brought to B2P Web
The B2P Web team has seen huge time savings.
Utilization of the WAPT documentation for implementing WAPT and creating packages.
Active participation on the mailing list for quick and effective resolution during various issues.
It can be said that Bastien HERMITTE and his team are now equipped to deploy heavy software on an aging park thanks to WAPT.
