Initial situation
During a long-term project, various Messe München applications were modernised, including the BizTalk-based middleware platform. After a detailed analysis, the customer decided to implement all future integration requirements on a newly installed Talend infrastructure and to replace the old solution step by step.
Messe München was looking for a reliable partner to provide the Talend middleware in a stable and maintainable way.
Mission
Planning and operating the technical Talend ESB infrastructure – from setting up the Linux servers to the Talend services, including monitoring of all servers and Talend processes.
Services
- Design and planning of the entire infrastructure using virtual servers in VMware
- Complete Linux administration of all servers
- Installation and maintenance of all components and programs required to run Talend
- Setup of the Talend operations platform
- Monitoring of all systems by the cimt outtasking team
- Independent response to incidents reported by the automated monitoring system
- Planning of software updates
- First-level support for all Talend questions via tickets in the cimt ticket system (OTRS)
- Second-level support for the project team by Talend ESB developers
- Complete documentation of the technical infrastructure, maintained in the customer’s system (Confluence)
Results
- Apart from Talend ESB (Enterprise Edition), open-source solutions were used for all components.
- The servers, implemented as virtual machines, are backed up continuously and can be fully restored at short notice.
- The test and production systems are set up identically and were designed as a fail-safe solution.
- This means jobs, services and routes can be deployed from the development environment to the test system and verified under realistic conditions before they are integrated into critical production processes.
