Open Sistemas

Within the specific field of action of the Tax Agency Open Sistemas develops a project of analysis, comparison and selection of OLAP engines based on a study of this institution casuistry, which is the low time of response in a data query from the users and a massive quantity of information looked up.

• Identified Demand / Problem

  • Identify an optimum solution of OLAP motor
  • High requirements on capacity and space and limitation on database design
  • Final response time under 1 second

• Description

  • High sizes for standard databases
  • Lack of specific tools

• How the problem was solved

  • Consultory and analysis of problem at a business and technical level
  • Identification and selection of tool
  • Analysis of optimum data model and valuation Mondrian / SyBaseIQ

• Business outcome

  • Optimum tool selection
  • Implantation process

The Spanish Tax System Agency, and in particular the Information and Investigation Against Fraud Department, characterized by the management of massive information and the need of highly restrictive response times, required a software solution developed at a very low level, with a team with a huge knowledge on Linux operation and development in C and C++ environments.

• Customer challenge / Problem

  • Necessity to provide near real time information to users
  • Bad scalability and security

• Description

  • Complex low level programming under Linux needed
  • Very Large Databases

• How we solved the problem

  • An experienced linux programming team
  • A senior DBA to analyze and make migration to Sybase IQ
  • A team of System Admins experienced in large IBM systems

• Positive business outcome

  • Reduced 200 times the response time to the user
  • Reduced downtime to almost 0

The Tax Administration National Agency, in the environment of advanced technologies for investigation and information against fraud, has deployed a system based on huge hardware resources for the correct exploitation of the information. The operative system in charge of the management of these resources is Suse Linux and Open Sistemas was hired to provide administration and management tasks for these environments through open source and Linux products.

• Identified Demand / Problem

  • Control services management (Zabbix), web and application servers (Apache/Tomcat/Axis).
  • Database servers management (MySQL y Sybase IQ) and of services developed by  the Tax Administration National Agency.

• Description

  • Intel Xeon architectures, Itanium and IBM pSeries
  • SANx with storage boxes IBM FasT and fiber networks

• How the problem was solved

  • Setup, reactive and proactive support of SMP machines with up to 128 processors and 512 GB of RAM with Suse Linux 9 and 10
  • Installation and setup of SANs with storage boxes IBM FasT and fiber networks

• Business outcome

  • Optimization, performance improvement
  • Better system approach and service control
