World4You has always relied on automated processes in its data center. When the previously used tool Spacewalk no longer met the contemporary requirements, a new solution had to be found. The decisive criteria for this were that this tool supports all Linux distributions used by World4You (e.g. CloudLinux) and offers automated deployment and patch management. In addition, the new solution had to fit the existing network concept.
In search of a partner for an efficient automation solution, World4You came across ATIX AG, because ATIX AG is specialized in the automation of data centers. For this purpose, ATIX has developed its own tool for cloud and data center management.
With orcharhino, processes such as the setup of new servers, configuration management or release and patch management are automated. A uniform interface is used to manage all integrated servers. This makes managing the infrastructure less complex – after all, it is controlled from a central location. In special cases, configurations for individual hosts can be overwritten.
In addition, various standard scenarios can be preconfigured with orcharhino. This makes rolling out to multiple servers and configuring them up to five times faster than doing it manually. For special requests, however, the configurations from the templates can be overwritten at any time. With orcharhino, new systems can therefore be set up, installed and preconfigured automatically. This allows both existing and new systems that extend an existing environment to be kept at a consistent level in configuration and package versions.
“The use of orcharhino has massively reduced the ‘time-to-deploy’ in particular.“
