Develop a design for a specific infrastructure component that fulfills the project requirements and adheres to the recommended Solution Approach. Provide domain expertise, representing the areas of platform and storage, and contribute to firm and timely decisions that support project deadlines.• Lead a team of engineers to investigate an x86 build automation process: . BladeLogic, Hp's OO, Puppet, BlueCat address manager were software bundles identified and adopted as essential tools needed to automate the server build process. These were integrated into the standardized build process. • Proposed and migrated core HP-UX 11i servers onto itanium blade servers and SRP containers utilizing the Aries emulator. This allowed for the legacy servers to migrate off the obsolete PA RISK platform while continuing to operate on the 11i libraries. This saved the company $1.5 million in third party licensing fees.• Wrote proposal to purchase Global Workload Management software to provide the monitoring, management and reporting tools to the server in order to maximize the CPU utility with the potential cost savings of $320,000 when compared against the likely option of server upgrade.• Wrote proposal to purchase NetApp storage solution for tier 3 storage Proposal was approved after performing comprehensive Proof-of-Concept testing, making the recommendation to purchase a NetApp Snapshot solution for the Test, PR and Implementation environments, the company purchased the product. The potential savings of $500,000 in tier 1 storage utilization as well as other SAN resources while providing the users a robust and dynamic computing environment. • Proposed and Installed SF 5.0 on 11.23 hosts, configured Fast Snap data replication on production hosts. Company purchased Symantec Storage Foundation for all HPUX hosts in response to my ROI analysis. The software saved the company over $200,000 in license fees over the next three years.

• Developed program to automate creation of disk groups, volumes and filesystems for test and development servers based on production servers.in perl.• Created perl program to automate data replication for refresh of test and development servers utilizing Veritas snap procedures.• Installed SF 5.0 on 11.23 hosts, configured Fast Snap data replication on production hosts.Company purchased Symantec Storage Foundation for all HPUX hosts in response to my ROI analysis.The software saved the company over $200,000 in license fees over the next three years.It saved the company more than $400,000 in administrative fees and tier 1 storage costs as well as potential downtime on high exposure production servers over that same time period.• Expand root filesystems utilizing hp imaging tool ignite.• Installed ISEE on all HPUX hosts (approx.300) providing the company fulltime hardware monitoring of all hpux servers • Wrote migration program utilizing EMC’s Open Migrator data replication utility. This enabled one administrator to migrate as many as 20 hosts congruently from any EMC storage array to another. This cut the downtime for each host to one fifth of the time, saving hundreds of hours of maintenance and support for SA's and DBA's• Rewrote EMC packaged TimeFinder scripts (bcvmgr) to improve reliability of bcv management and backups. This greatly improved identification of root cause of failed bcv snaps and remote mount of filesystems• Implemented alarmdef standards for all HPUX hosts.
