Testbed Control System Utilities
From Fortian
Testbed Control System Utilities
Fortian Inc. has extensive experience with testbed simulation of field exercises. Fast, consistent, and scalable operating system deployment is a critical component of successful testbed endeavors. In order to improve the state of the art of operating system provisioning, Fortian Inc. has created Rainfall, a system which manages OS provisioning, leveraging ISC DHCP and PXEBoot for PXE-based netbooting. Rainfall is capable of simultaneously provisioning hundreds of systems.
Rainfall is a part of the Atmosphere framework, currently under active development by Fortian. It is based upon TCSBoot, which was originally created at the Naval Research Laboratories, and was designed to interoperate with the Testbed Control System.
