Hi CF'ers,

How has your working week been? I've had the busiest week of my working career but last thing today I got a thankyou from someone high up so it was worth while. Oh and I've saved my company 70k! Bring on the end of year appraisal!!!

Busy week. Been out selling network upgrades all week.

DR plan getting approved for one of our bigger customers is a bonus so I`ll be designing that next week with various options.

Still getting the hands on work with a failed Exchange server that decided to stop sending emails to the users windows mobile devices. Managed to get it sorted during the night which meant everyones phone went crazy as their email synced with the Exchange server.

On the beers tonight….

 

Great work mate. DR eh, sounds fun, backups, offsite storage, love it, just hate documenting it ha ha

 

Exactly, going to try and sell the failover solution so I don’t need to get outta bed if the head office burns down.

 

You're kidding! And people give us scousers a bad name :S How could that happen in a datacenter if you dont mind me asking?

Funny you should say anout the CCNA zebulebu, this week I got so tired of our network boys blaming McAfee products for slow responding FAPs I've asked my TL if I can do my CCNA:Sec with Joe's CommSupport in September, fingers crossed I can get it signed off.

 

Sorry I should know better..... no doubt some heads will roll as a result and a policy change...... a silver lining. These things happen I suppose, failure at the 8th layer of the OSI

 

Been very busy at work... This is what our small team had to do:

1. Reimagining mobile classrooms
2. Getting to grips with a new site-wide wireless system ready for installation next week (for one of our clients)
3. Setting up a Prometric testing centre
4. Going thru the process to become an ETA testing centre
5. Working on failover clustering with Hyper-V (using the Intel Modular server)
6. Prepping laptops for our external clients (all different hardware models)
7. Do a SQL 2005 to SQL 2008 migration
8. Re-do our own wireless system.
9. Termination of network points
10. Extend our network (3 more network cabs), due to expansion.

Crazy, there goes the concept of the datacentre being the secure option.

 

Blooming heck Ken, I think you all could do with a raise!

Its todays world I think, everyone wants something for nothing Silver lining will be that how ever they have managed it, it won't happen again I'm sure. Our datacenters get pen tested obviously but they also use a tiger team to physically attack the building. I've seen it in action and its quite impressive, tail gating, climbing walls, social engineering. A fascinating aspect of IT Sec for sure.
