The growing complex applications and databases require a strong IT. Especially in the field of healthcare, the importance of IT has increased considerably in recent years. The demand for databases, communication between the different applications and the IT infrastructure becomes increasingly complex. For IT employees, we offer seminars that introduce system and database administration and deepen existing knowledge. By arrangement, we also address specific areas. The offer includes 5 different areas: Linux, Apache, MySQL, Puppet and git.
All trainings are also offered in German.

MySQL Administration
This course is intended for anyone who are new to the topic „Administration of MySQL Servers“. The participants will get an in-depth overview of the architecture of the MySQL server, how it works and how it is installed, and the routine tasks involved in administering a MySQL server.
This course places great emphasis on high practical content. Basic topics and work steps, such as installing and configuring a MySQL server, are performed and discussed in a number of different ways. Other standard tasks from the life of the database administrator, e.g. Security and rights management, monitoring and performance optimization as well as backup and restore are treated virtually and practically. Advanced topics such as point-in-time recovery and master-slave replication with MySQL complete the training.
The training is carried out with the current version of the MySQL community server, which is released for productive operation (Generally Available Release, GA). On request, earlier versions, or not yet released newer versions can be considered.
Newcomers and users of MySQL with little or no prior knowledge of a relational database management system are addressed with this training.

MySQL Performance Enhancement and Optimization
The volume of data that a database server has to master and manage in practice today is getting bigger and bigger. MySQL databases can store enormous amounts of data as well. It is therefore important to be able to recognize possible performance problems early and to correct them with the right tools.
This training is aimed at database administrators as well as developers. The participants learn about methods and tools for the performance measurement and to implement them appropriately. The basics for the diagnosis of performance bottlenecks are presented in different areas, e.g. Configuration and storage management, cache settings, table structure and indexes, or the correct use of the data types. On this basis, the optimization is demonstrated in practical examples.
The training is carried out with the current version of the MySQL community server, which is released for productive operation (Generally Available Release, GA). On request, earlier versions, or not yet released newer versions can be considered.
This seminar is designed for developers and database administrators who want to optimize and monitor their MySQL database. Basic knowledge in the administration of MySQL or basic knowledge in the database development with MySQL are necessary for this.

Puppet Configuration Management
Changes to a server configuration, whether on servers in data centers or in office infrastructures, must be made regularly. With manual adjustments, there are often errors. A further disadvantage is the different configuration settings, which make the setting up of a new server into a force act in the event of a total failure. The software Puppet offers a way out. It is considered the top dog in the field of configuration management software from Puppet Labs. Participants of the seminar will get to know the Puppets configuration language intensively and practice-oriented. This allows you to define the configurations of the servers, and to determine which packages have to be installed. It does not matter on how many servers the configuration is executed – it could be thousands of computers. According to reports also Google, Oracle, and Wikimedia Foundation intensively use Puppet.
The seminar is designed for experienced Linux system administrators.

Version Management with Git
The distributed version management Git is increasingly replacing traditional local and central systems for managing source code and resource files. It is especially suitable for development in teams and is becoming increasingly important in the company environment as well. The strength of Git lies in the independent software evolution since every developer works with a complete version – which in turn is combined into a complete overall system.
The seminar shows the development cycle in practice-oriented exercises both on the shell, in the independent application Source Tree, as well as in Eclipse with EGit. In addition to everyday tasks, the seminar offers best practices with (distributed) version control as well as from the open source software development. In addition, the Git course is devoted to the administration of the system and also includes an overview of how an effective release management looks like and how subversion repositories are converted to Git.
