Optimization
Once you have completed the build of your solution, you still have a few steps that should be followed through before you launch the project and "go live". One step that is often overlooked is "Optimization". This phase of the project consists of evaluating the configurations for each component within the solution, and ensuring that they conform to your performance and scaling requirements in the best possible way. Any customized scripts or code should be reviewed and cleaned up to be more efficient and to be well commented or documented so that future development work can be pursued without trouble. Naturally, this phase of the project requires an intimate knowledge of all of the components, all of the configuration options available to you, and a good understanding of the code that has been used for any customized scripts.
The Symlabs Professional Services team is very well suited to this task, as each of our staff members has worked with a large number of directory products and client applications for many years. More importantly, we know our own products from back-to-front and inside-out. As a result, Symlabs can help you to ensure that your entire solution is running optimally before you launch it.
EXPERIENCE AND SUCCESS STORIES
Symlabs Professional Services team was involved in an optimization project for a US-based global technology provider working in the financial sector. A test deployment with some customized scripts was running sub-optimally and changes to the target infrastructure required the entire configuration and all scripts to be reviewed. The Professional Services team was able to improve the configuration drastically, facilitating a number of possible future changes to the infrastructure as well as generally improving performance. Furthermore, changes to some of the custom-built scriptlets resolved issues with managing the configuration instance from within a GUI environment, easing the management and administration of the instance.
