Technology Update 11 Jan 2011
TIES Technology Audit TIES identified issues with: • Network hardware (switches, servers) • Network routing • Network security • Network configuration • Backup system • System updates and patches • Active Directory
Network Upgrades so far… • Replaced all network switches • Wireless Access Points • Migration to 2010 Exchange server • Reconfigure Active Directory including permissions structure • Installed redundant firewall and filter • Installed new email filter
Issues That Remain • Single points of failure (no redundancy) • 100’s of websites on multiple servers • Archaic servers and end of life software • Back up and recovery systems are inadequate • Difficult system administration and maintenance
Virtualization - Need • Replace archaic hardware • Centralize systems • Provide Redundant systems • Dynamic expansion • Affordable recovery of systems & data
Virtualization - Advantages • Easier systems management • Easier systems administration • Easier systems maintenance • Easier data recovery • Easier deployments • Hardware consolidation • Going green
Virtualization - Goals • Provide: • a reliable, flexible, and manageable infrastructure • for a well-designed Windows Server infrastructure. • services within the private cloud for the infrastructure. • highly available data access within the private cloud accompanied with dynamic management and administrative capabilities.
Project Scope • Setup an infrastructure with a virtualization platform on new servers and storage hardware • Finish upgrade on Microsoft Active Directory (AD) services • Virtualize and configure any needed infrastructure services.
