Super Admin

This job has three parts:

• 1. Administration of the internal SDS network;
• 2. Development of a remote secure update mechanism;
• 3. Development of a monitoring and management system.

1. Administration of the SDS internal network

This is a classic network administration job, managing the SDS internal network, DNS, mail, bugzilla, ldap, crm... This part of the job should represent between 20 and 30% of the workload.

2. Development of a remote update mechanism

To remotely update the products, a technical solution should be developed to transfer a system image and check its integrity. The machine should be able to verify the origin of the image, and to have a fallback if the image is not working properly.

3. Development of a monitoring and management system

A remote monitoring and control mechanism will be implemented to keep track of the status of the products.  This will allow systems administrators to be proactive before any potential failures (e.g.; memory corruption, overheating, other...). The implementation may require a database and tools that can aggregate information from few hundreds of products initially, then thousands, and finally size the management system to manage a million of IMS products.
