IT Director
Myriad Development is a data warehousing company for the insurance industry, they consume lots of drive space with huge databases which are used to analyze floodplain, earthquake, and fire lane hindrances for insurance consideration. I am the Director of Information Technology for this company.
I took what was learned at RW3 to create a private cloud infrastructure that could be easily managed by a lay person. Myriad has two internally hosted mail servers, (2010) active directory, Visual Studio 2015 Team Foundation. Their AD system consists of a single domain separated by firewalled subnets for Production, Staging, Test, Development, and Office Operations. Force10 Switches connecting several Dell r815’s and EqualLogic iSCSI storage to host all the assets running in a virtual environment managed with VMware.
Operating systems used were Windows 2012R2, 2003, Centos, RedHat.
Late 2014 Implementation of Active Directory Administrative Center to easily generate scripts for managing users within PowerShell

Additional major project was to assist on a hardware level to convert Oracle 9i running on Solaris 9 to the latest version of Oracle running on a Centos x64 bit architecture in VMware. We transitioned from a 1GB interconnect to 10GB vlan’d switchgear for our iSCSI and IP traffic. IPS, IDP, load balancing is handled by Sophos UTM 9.
