As you know, an important part of optimizing the integration of your Silk solution into your environment is ensuring that our best practices for host configuration are in place. These work to maintain resiliency and allow for the best performance possible for the application and databases running on Silk. We also know it can be a challenge to know if these are in place across all of your hosts in an efficient and effective way. This can now be accomplished with our Validator and Activator tools. Today, they can now be used for ESX, Linux, and Windows hosts as well from a number of different terminals, including your desktop, PC, Linux, or Mac.
Our Validator will read your host configuration and compare it to our latest best practice settings for performance and availability. Our Activator will execute the configuration changes you wish to make with your permission easily and efficiently. There are a number of additional features added in as well that will help you cover multiple hosts quickly and to know exactly what action could and should be taken.
You can find the downloads and the User Guides for both the Validator and the Activator here. If you have any questions, please contact Silk Support and we can assist with these.
