Software deployment
Any software needs to run somewhere and that naturally applies to our sat-nms Monitoring & Control and Network Management system as well. But we like to give our customers as many options as possible and make deployment easy.
Our recommendation
We prefer Debian Linux because of its stability and consistent use of free software. We ship our software in Debian packages (*.deb) for easy installation, so also any other Debian derivative like Ubuntu or Mint is well supported. But feel free to use any other recent Linux distribution e.g. from Red Hat or SUSE and deploy our software from our tarballs (*.tar.gz).
Which additional software packages are required?
We want to protect our customers from additional dependencies and licensing costs. Therefore, we rely on free and unmodified open-source software for all additional tools. This includes beside the operating system (OS):
