Blandford Forum

I designed and successfully delivered the JC2SP TLAN to HMS Collingwood and developed the TLAN for deployment to RAF Cosford with Virtual Windows XP JC2SP Workstations. I also worked on virtualising the JC2SP openJOP 2.5 application into the TLAN Scenario together with the ICS 2.8.2.This training platform provided a stable and full-proof method into the workings of the JC2SP DII Node and plethora of applications. The rig I designed and built also provides a useful tool to administering the DII Node and can be used for user familiarisation, patch / upgrade testing and application growth/version changes.

Fawley, Southampton

I have been working over the last year on my concept of a training LAN for HMS Collingwood and RAF Cosford. The LAN consists of an ESXi 4.1 server holding two domains that have interoperability to successfully train operatives how military applications are administered and configured. The concept goes on to include all of the JC2SP application versions up to the end of 2012 and was due to encompass the new openJOP 2.5 and upgrade top 2.5.1 with two versions made available to the Schools for Geo-replication training. This will in the future also encompass two installations of ICC 2.8.2 and an exchange server for the requirements of the courseware. The rig I designed has 10 JC2SP virtual workstations for each domain and I designed it to have no significant impact on the training schools classroom environment. This has formed an essential tool to enhance the schools training and has been met with overwhelming success. I stand by BluDot ITC's slogan... 'Your thoughts brought to life' and strive to achieve your business success through IT conceptual innovation.

This project aimed to upgrade the existing infrastructure for the DSTL restricted network system at Fort Halstead. It involved auditing the current systems in preparation for the upgrade, building machines destined for deployment (using ‘Becrypt’ encryption) and deployment to the end user desktops. I also configured desktop machines using the clients’ chosen method for non-compatible XP software (VM WARE). In addition I provided ‘one to one’ support to end users.I adapted and created work procedures for key roles within the roll-out at DSTL.
