We performed a standard installation of TeamSite on RedHat Enterprise Linux in the Travel & Hospitality customer's on premise data center.
We partnered with the customer's infrastructure team to come to an agreement on the operating system and database versions that were certified to work with TeamSite.
Platform components:
TeamSite Integrations:
This customer's development resources had deep experience with .NET, so we successfully performed the first customer installation of a TeamSite platform with LiveSite .NET.
We worked closely with the TeamSite engineering team to make adjustments to the platform to allow for seamless page authoring for web sites rendered using the LiveSite Display Services .NET platform.
This platform evolved to also have the same TeamSite server deploying content out to both LiveSite Java and .NET Runtimes, demonstrating the flexibility provided by both the OpenDeploy and TeamSite products.
Platform components:
TeamSite Integrations:
This installation was deployed in Azure and consisted of TeamSite being deployed on Virtual Machines, while the LiveSite Runtime components were deployed in Kubernetes using the OpenText Cloud images
This was the pilot project for the customer's migration from on premise data center to Azure, so we overcame challenges with provisioning and connectivity to deliver a flexible platform.
As the first platform deployed in Azure, we worked with the customer to define Infrastructure as Code (IaC) practices using Terraform to automate the creation of the required resources.

This customer wanted to upgrade and migrate all of their TeamSite, LiveSite and IDOL platforms from on premise to AWS as part of this project.
OpenText only provides Docker containers for Kubernetes TeamSite deployment, so our team created the following Linux containers for deployment in AWS ECS as the customer did not want to manage the additional complexity of AKS:
Similarly, MicroFocus (now owned by OpenText) does not provide containers for all of the required IDOL services, so our team created the following Linux containers:
