Project Overview
AeroTunisia, a leading airport operations firm in Tunisia, required a highly secure and optimized Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) server to host a mission-critical web application for managing airport logistics, flight schedules, and ground services. The company sought a custom-tailored Linux server configuration that ensures high availability, security, and scalability while seamlessly handling thousands of real-time data requests.
Welink Tech was tasked with designing, configuring, and deploying the entire infrastructure, ensuring that the new system met enterprise-grade security and performance requirements.
Challenges & Risks
✅ High Availability & Performance – The server needed to support high traffic without downtime.
✅ Strict Security & Compliance – The system had to comply with aviation cybersecurity regulations and prevent unauthorized access.
✅ Custom Optimization – Required fine-tuned performance for handling real-time airport logistics and scheduling.
✅ Scalability & Automation – The infrastructure needed to support future expansion across multiple airports.
