Aggressive in terms of technology and business standards, its my goal to match the goals of business with technology to match the bottom-line of todays business requirements while remaining financially responsible. Familiar with NetApp technology, NAS (Network Attached Storage) has become a great alternative to traditional SAN in terms of storage provisioning.

This allows for much more flexible, reliable, and faster access to data. This was done on both HP and Sun hardware platforms. Assisted with implementation of tape and disk SAN (Storage Area Network) infrastructure. This project is ongoing as servers are migrated into the new environment.Took ownership of several system monitoring applications integrated with HP OpenView such as: Measureware, and ITO. These applications give feedback to Production Control alerting them to system and/or software related problems and also tells them who to direct the messages to. Implementation of BMC Patrol is currently in development for WWW monitoring via the Production Control group.Built HP and Sun UNIX servers to support financial applications for ATM (TYME), Internet Banking, Data Warehouse (Oracle and Informix driven), and virtual banking services supporting several thousand banks worldwide.Created written documentation of Veritas Volume Manager upgrades on encapsulated boot disks.

This allows a complete server restoration in a disaster recovery effort in under 1 hour and includes provisions for recovery via CD boot, then flash install from tape and/or NFS mounted flash image or network boot from Jumpstart server, then flash install from NFS mounted flash image. Old methodologies typically would extend DR outages anywhere from 15 30 hours which was unacceptable. This new procedure took the place of a pending Veritas Bare Metal Restore product, thus saving our company thousands of dollars in software licensing and hardware infrastructure costs while at the same time providing equal benefits in the Solaris 8 environment.February, 1999 January, 2000 Peopleware Consulting, LLC.
