On-Premise
YouTestMe is a complex server-based system. It consists of the:
Linux host operating system
Tomcat application server
PostgreSQL Database
Utility scripts
They are all part of one pre-configured Virtual Machine, also called the Virtual Appliance. Virtualization is a powerful enterprise software concept that greatly simplifies the distribution, installation, configuration, and maintenance of complex computer systems.

Software Package
To run a virtual machine, a “hypervisor” software is required. YouTestMe is supported by the following major hypervisor software:
| Hypervisor Software | Description | Price |
|---|---|---|
|
Oracle VirtualBox |
Suitable for workstations and small to medium servers |
Free Download |
|
VMware Player |
Suitable for workstations and small to medium servers |
Download |
|
VMware ESXi |
Used in data centers. (Contact your system administrator for additional information) |

System Requirements
| Hardware | Minimal | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
|
CPU |
2 Virtual CPU Cores |

|
RAM |
8 GB |
16 GB |
|

120 GB |
320 GB |
|
Network Connection |

Note that the above requirements are for the YouTestMe virtual machine. To be installed on a workstation or small server, the physical machine should have at least 4 GB RAM and 50 GB free disk space more than the above-stated requirements. If you are installing VM on a “bare metal” server with hypervisors such as ESXi, the requirements above are applicable.
YouTestMe Product Versions
Depending on the client’s requirements, we offer standard and enterprise versions of our products.
While the standard version of our application is suitable for small businesses, government agencies, or schools, the enterprise versions can be used by large businesses, governments, and educational institutions of any size.

Additional Database
Having an additional Postgres database guarantees high availability, redundancy, and data balancing. An additional database ensures an uninterrupted testing process by relieving the load on the primary database.
Seamlessly integrate other systems with YouTestMe GetCertified
Complete reporting, daily backups, and other processes while preserving the primary database security and performance
Provide secure, direct access to your personnel for data analysis and system support
Distributed System
A distributed YouTestMe GetCertified system allows you to have test centers at locations where the Internet connection is sporadic or does not exist.
Data from the various locations can be synchronized with the main server using a network connection (when available) or file exchange.
Highly scalable distributed systems designed to handle large loads
Pre-configured system components easy to install
Minimal need for administration and maintenance
Off-the-Grid Testing
Use YouTestMe GetCertified knowledge examination platform to organize off-the-grid testing in areas without electricity and Internet connection.
Conduct testing at remote locations
No need for internet connection, wired LAN
The entire system can be battery operated using laptops and tablets
Data synchronization using a network connection or file exchange
BCP (Business Continuity Planning)
Business continuity planning involves comprehensive and detailed disaster recovery plans in case of unpredictable situations and application unavailability.
Features of BCP for Enterprise Editions:
Daily data backups at three different physical locations
Multiple instances at different locations for redundancy
Standby database with synced data
YouTestMe Application Hosting
We offer a secure hosting of YouTestMe products on our Cloud servers.
Our servers are located in Canada and France.
Delivery Options
The YouTestMe product for on-premise usage is delivered as an archive of OVF (Open Virtualization Format) packages or OVA (Open Virtual Appliance) files with the manual for the application installation and usage. The compressed virtualization files can be downloaded from the YouTestMe secure FTP server and deployed via hypervisor software in less than an hour.
