And for the migration of core fiber infrastructure from telco vendor leased services to British Telecommunications United States private fiber optic network resulting in an operational cost savings of $5M per annum. Implemented MPLS-TE for fast switching. Implemented Fast Rerouting on Layer 3 for traffic reroutes on LSPs and LSRs setting up LSPs. Implemented Bidirectional Forwarding detection on Layer 3 routing protocols (OSPF and EIGRP). Additional responsibilities handled by the team included but not limited to developing a datacenter footprint reduction program which migrated telco supplier leases resulting in a reduction of $10K per month and co-location of 4 British Telecommunications datacenters to a single telco supplier facility and migrating 7,000 circuits from RXN (Cisco) to MPLS resulting in a reduction of migration time by one-third the previous rate. Wrote the operational procedure to handle the deployment / disconnect of client services resulting in an increase in productivity by allowing staff members to complete their duties with little intervention by line management. Special projects included the management of the migration of 7,000 Lotus Notes Inventory database records to the newly introduced British Telecommunications Global Inventory Management System database and updated operational procedures and data content to serve British Telecommunications operations teams more efficiently. Other projects included the management of implementation of specific Cisco hardware (5500, 6500, 7200 & 7600) projects which bridged Reuters data feeds platform and British Telecommunications Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) platforms. Projects included the Real-Time Data Services (RTDS) Full Tick Project and the Tagged Base Internetworking (TBI) Gateway Project, oversight of the measurement of datacenter network access capacity to contribute to BTs corporate planning & strategy for cost reduction measures for contributing to subsequent fiscal years. Created scripts to load into routers and switches using Notepad and basic PERL scripts. Yearly validation of security policies and connectivity to governing bodies. Designed, implement and managed capacity of Frame-Relay and ATM network for client access of Small Site Delivery Project. Verified devices via nslookup for DNS name and IP address verification. Managed IP addresses and network devices with Infoblox Network Management System. Configured routers and switches for DHCP connectivity by specifying the IP address of the DHCP Server in the network. Worked on projects building 12 brand new data centers in states Los Angeles, New Jersey, Ontario, Boston, California, Illinois, Texas and Washington DC and migrated the old data centers into one data center. The team would work with several vendors on strategic planning of each data center with power, cabinet design, equipment placement and equipment procurement of communications hardware for the data centers. We also migrated from old Cisco 2900 series switches to 6500 series switches. The routers were migrated from 2500 and 1800 routers to 7200 and 7600 routers for the internal and client networks. Added Cisco Call Manager Express 5 in Datacenters. Ordered leased data and voice services from telecommunications suppliers such as, AT&T RBOCs (SNET, NETEL, Ameritech, SWBELL and PACTEL), Verizon Business/MCI, Cable & Wireless, French Telecom, British telecommunications. Managed the telecommunications budget for the Reuters News Service, Radianz Inc. and British Telecommunications Inc.
Managed capacity of leased services with the regional datacenters. Special projects included the management of third-party vendor project managers and technicians to assure datacenter projects were implemented consistently on-time. Assess business and technology initiatives, providing consultation, technical support, and recommendations to optimally utilize the enterprise network infrastructure. Create and maintain support documentation and technical drawings of the enterprise network infrastructure using MS-Visio 2010 and MS-Office 2010. Perform root cause analysis for service interruption recovery, creating preventative measures to deploy in the enterprise. Assessed issues cause by hardware and human intervention. If service interruption was caused by outside entity, we requested a moratorium of the situation and deployed backups to ensure service was not interrupted in the future. Research and design reference models to standardize network architecture and manage network life-cycle planning by using MS-Excel to manage hardware lifecycle and kept inventory of equipment. Trained peers on new scenario tests in the form of keepalives, debugs and loopback test to guarantee minimal outage time on service interruptions.
