Network Infrastructure Specialist
Greater Boston Area
The Network Infrastructure role was to ensure the stability and integrity of in-house data, and wireless network services. This was achieved by performing monitoring, maintenance, support, and optimization of all network hardware, software, and communication links. I also analyzed and resolved network hardware and software problems in a timely and accurate fashion, and provided end user training where required.Basic systems include Windows Server 2003, Microsoft Exchange 2003, Microsoft SQL, Barracuda Spam Firewall, Blackberry Enterprise Server, Cisco Clean Access, and Windows Terminal Services. All systems are integrated via Active Directory or LDAP for authentication. The majority of the campus is Cisco.I worked closely with the network supervisor on all implementation of upcoming projects. These included migration to Server 2008, Exchange 2007, VMWare ESX Server, VOIP Deployment Project, and network switch replacement. I was also required to use existing monitoring systems and keep them up to date.As time progressed, I had a working knowledge of Cisco IOS, Microsoft Active Directory, authentication integration of systems into Active Directory using the LDAP protocol, 802,11Q VLAN tagging, Cisco Clean Access, Port Trunking, and writing end-user documentation.
