In our recent project, we faced the challenge of supporting the Client's Disaster Recovery Testing initiative for their IBM Storwize V5030 system. The task involved implementing a new IBM Storwize V5030E system in the Chicago, IL, data centre production environment while repurposing the old V5030 as a replication target. Our main challenge was to ensure seamless synchronisation between the V5030E (source) and V5030 (target) systems and conduct a simulated disaster recovery scenario to validate functionality.

To address the challenge, we meticulously implemented the new technology IBM Storwize V5030E system in the Chicago, IL, data centre. We established a robust plan to synchronise data between the V5030E and V5030 systems, ensuring data integrity and continuity. Rigorous testing procedures were implemented to simulate a disaster recovery scenario, guaranteeing that the systems could seamlessly switch over in case of an actual emergency. Our team monitored the process to mitigate risks and ensure a successful transition.

Our finance industry client, situated in a bustling metropolitan area across multiple buildings on campus, encountered persistent challenges. Clients struggled to maintain a reliable and consistent wireless connection at their workstations and while moving within the premises. In anticipation of future expansion and to address existing connectivity issues effectively, an urgent requirement arose for a comprehensive survey and remediation plan to enhance wireless coverage and performance throughout the entire campus.

Conducting meticulous Passive and Predictive site surveys across three multi-story locations, we meticulously evaluated the Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) and cloud-based dashboard configurations to align them with industry best practices. Our comprehensive report identified critical areas for improvement and provided the client with tailored solutions to optimise their wireless network performance and ensure compliance standards are met. We delivered a robust and tailored wireless network solution for enhanced connectivity and seamless operations by strategically placing access points and defining coverage areas based on specific wireless needs.

A prominent digital commerce company spanning nearly 20 countries, boasting a diverse team of designers, marketers, creatives, data scientists, and software engineers, faced the task of resolving authentication issues within their DUO system. This initiative addressed authentication challenges for over 5,000 users and 3,000 Windows machines, encompassing ADFS, LDAP, DUO, Windows HELLO, and auto-enrolment.

Our team conducted a comprehensive assessment of the client's DUO implementation in collaboration with a senior engineer to address the authentication issues. A robust redesign of the authentication system was executed and rigorously tested to ensure seamless functionality. Furthermore, client-side administrators were actively involved in training and knowledge transfer sessions to equip them with the necessary skills to maintain the optimised design in the long term.
