Editor's Notes
Hello everyone I’m David Janes and as a Sys Admin with NSMS I have about 10 minutes to introduce… NSMS [Some of you may be aware of us some no Show of hands?]
Please interrupt to ask questions if you want me to expand on any point Who we are in terms of people and location What we are in terms of services Look at a case study which demonstrates some of our services Answer questions
We aren’t consultants. University pays us – we are university staff, just like you Cost recovery to. Any profit underwrites OUCS
Brief again Note that we cover Windows, Linux and Netware and then further services with our 6 Sys Admin We offer dedicated team members to each of clients so you have a known point of contact
Note Riaz Knowledgeable in terms of purchasing – able to get good deals and will work closely with clients
Dedicated team member for purchasing and also 2 per client Also Exchange based Calendaring Service Samba based file shares IT costings to meet FEC requirements MAC support (troubleshooting and management) Domain Upgrades
Centralised purchasing – we Sophos v6 server (soon v7) Firewalls - Netscreen 25’s Many of our services running as VM’s offering the advantages associated with Virtualisation (fast build, backup restore, snapshot) HA = High Availability. Each host knows what the other hosts are running, in the event of total host failure the other hosts will automatically bring up that hosts VMs Dynamic Resource Sheduler. VMotion VMs between hosts dependant on load and user defined rules. One VM gets loaded and it'll migrate other VMs to other hosts to balance the CPU/Memory usage between all hosts in the cluster automatically. VMotion = the ability to migrate a live virtual machine between hosts with no loss of connectivity/service.
Discuss how the whole domain was moved from NT to 2003/XP Ongoing over last 4 years
