Key features like SSL uploading strengthen file handling

From the study material point of view, there are multiple certifications available. The challenge is there is hardly any study material available that can be referred to or used as a study material. Of course, from the knowledge perspective, multiple courses and details are available. However, from a hands-on experience perspective, more resources should be available on the Internet, like labs and lab preparations.

Stable platform with a straightforward setup process

The initial setup process is straightforward. It usually takes a day if all the prerequisites are met. It requires correctly configuring the property file. The process is particularly uncomplicated if the deployment is on a standalone system. However, in a clustered environment, the property file needs to be deployed on each server with precise sequencing, following the guidelines provided by the system. The installation script is then executed to install the overall product. The deployment time depends on different use cases and requires one executive to work on it. The level of maintenance support is also based on the use cases. Two executives can easily maintain the product for a simple vanilla setup with normal use cases.
