| Challenge: A
division of a large company needed to find
a new home for their enterprise website that contained over
2000 pages and utilized WebSphere J2EE, CGI, and Oracle database
technologies. Their host was charging fees that were too high
in a climate where budgets were shrinking. |
| Solution:
Thomas Pittman surveyed the site's
performance and technology requirements and recommended a
move from dedicated Sun UNIX servers to a less expensive LINUX
solution. Thomas Pittman installed Websphere and Oracle
on the new server and performed the database data, page, and
other technological migrations. The site was up on the new server
with no difficulties with the switch occuring over a weekend.
The company felt the $8500/month savings but end users of the
site didn't see or feel a thing. |

| Challenge: The
provider hosting the web site of one of Thomas Pittman Consulting's
customers sent an email in July 2002 warning them of the security
flaw that affected Apache web servers. The eMail contained a
link where a patch for Apache could be installed. Trouble was,
the customer in question wasn't using an Apache webserver: the
link was not helpful. |
| Solution:
Part of the supplemental
services provided by Thomas Pittman for the client was a
weekly inventory and installation of security and bug-fix patches
for critical pieces of software in use on their servers. Thomas
Pittman had the patch for their brand of webserver up within
hours of its release. |
