Hello Sridhar, >Regarding Remote Infrastructure management what is the road map for skills required in open source category?
Most of the web infrastructure is implemented using open source tools etc. *Some pointers in this direction* http://www.opengear.com/linuxinside.html Patni Computers Infrastructure support for GE is based on Open source tools...read this http://www.patni.com/case-studies/ims-global_electrical_supplier.aspx Above link gives fairly good idea of how open source tools are used to minimize the IT infrastructure support cost. There are many companies which are specializing in this segment, ' bobcares.com' is one such company which provides outsourced technical support,server administration for the webhosts. Its based out of kerala and is a pioneer in this segment.Most of their service profile is based on the WHM and Cpanel support... which are used by most of the Web hosting companies and data centers. In the near future we will find many such companies starting their operations in India... core skill set could be good undersrtanding of Linux OS (from Sys Admin point of view) .. + installation / configuration expertise of various open source servers like Web Servers (Apache), DB Servers (MySQL,PostgreSQL etc), Proxy Servers(Squid),Mail Servers(Qmail,Postfix) ..the list goes on .. Version control systems (Subversion) With Warm Regards, Vikram. ===================================== "Our attitude determines our altitude !" =====================================
