Mentora Practical Solutions

Mentora “Practical Solutions” papers provide insight and concrete suggestions to address technical issues of installing, maintaining, performance testing, and supporting high-availability production applications, developed from our hands-on real-life experience providing 24/7 uptime for our managed hosting and testing customers.

Our goal is to help other QA and IT operations teams by sharing lessons learned. Our focus is on practical solutions from an operations perspective – things you can do today, not things that “should be” or that require product enhancements by third-party vendors. We share “what works to make it work”.
