Installing Triton DataCenter on Premises
This page will walk you through the process of planning, installing, and configuring your Triton DataCenter installation for use. Each section addresses a logical set of tasks that culminate in a functional Triton installation.
Customers with a support plan, or customers planning on purchasing a support plan, should only install updates from the support channel. Additionally, new customers or customers standing up a new installation need to attend a deployment review session with MNX support. Failure to do so may result in an unsupportable installation.
If you do not have a support plan, proceed with the following steps to get the latest OSS and upgrade to the latest release or developer version.
