Problem Statement
 Solutions & Results
A school network wanted to implement a web-based grading and reporting system with their Linux-based network infrastructure. Project involved understanding application usage behavior, platform dependencies of critical components in the grading and reporting system, estimation of network bandwith requirements, and design of a suitable platform infrastructure.  The project has been completed and the system had been deployed.
A school had developed a Linux-based network over a 10-year period.  Most original servers were still in use. The network administrator left with little systems documentation. A new network administrator was appointed. A third-party network audit reported many alarming vulnerabilities. Administrative staff sought assistance with redesign of the total network and preparation of cost estimates for complete system replacement. During a site visit all systems were examined, a hardware and software inventory was taken, and the distributed campus network was reviewed.  A new perimeter security system was designed.  A new virtualized server infrastructure was designed, and planned for a new distributed messaging and file and print services were agreed to.  The new network administrator oversaw installation and migration.
An educational business suffered loss of Internet connectivity at a very critical time.  The company sought a solution to provide redundant Internet services to prevent a repeat of this problem.  The remote location of the company limited connectivity choices.

A detailed assessment of bandwidth needs and available ISP options was undertaken.  The solution involved partnering with another nearby business to share each other's Internet services over a dedicated fiber-optic link.  The new connection has been implemented and has operated successfully for nearly six months.  Periodic systems outages are created to validate fail-over operation.
