EST066 (AP12-001) Migration of BEMS Server to Centrally Hosted Infrastructure
Category: Compliance Milestones
RAG Status GREEN
| Report by Sue Woodger for August 2012
Achievements This Period
1. The storage issue was resolved to meet the requirements of the project in May 2. The performance issues were resolved in July/August by installing Sigma X software onto the server in place of the dongle - this covers all the licensing requirements needed by E&B.. Schneider engineers discovered that the dongle was creating the issues although the dongle works perfectly well in other virtual environments and they cannot explain why it did not work in ours. Sigma X is the software the Schneider engineers use on their laptops and the head of their R&D was the one who pushed for us to use this. It will become part of their standard package for virtual machines within the next couple of releases. Schneider have expressed that they will continue to provide support with the Sigma X in place of the dongle.
