On-Premise Deployment
YouTestMe is a complex server-based system. It consists of the:
Linux host operating system
Tomcat application server
PostgreSQL Database
Utility scripts
They are all part of one pre-configured Virtual Machine, also called the Virtual Appliance. Virtualization is a powerful enterprise software concept that greatly simplifies the distribution, installation, configuration, and maintenance of complex computer systems.
Deployment Enviroment
To run a virtual machine, a “hypervisor” software is required. YouTestMe is supported by the following major hypervisor software:
HYPERVISOR SOFTWARE | DESCRIPTION | USEFUL LINKS |
---|---|---|
Oracle VirtualBox | Suitable for workstations and small to medium servers | External Link |
VMware Player | Suitable for workstations and small to medium servers | External Link |
VMware ESXi | Used in data centers. (Contact your system administrator for additional information) | External Link |
System Requirements
HARDWARE | MINIMAL | RECOMMENDED |
---|---|---|
CPU | 2 Virtual CPU Cores | 4 Virtual CPU Cores |
RAM | 8 GB | 16 GB |
HDD | 120 GB | 320 GB |
Network Connection | Yes | Yes |
Note that the above requirements are for the YouTestMe virtual machine. To be installed on a workstation or small server, the physical machine should have at least 4 GB RAM and 50 GB free disk space more than the above-stated requirements. If you are installing VM on a “bare metal” server with hypervisors such as ESXi, the requirements above are applicable.
