Summer Project

[localzuk]

For us there's quite a chunk to get done:

 

12 new iPads to set up

85 new staff laptops

12 new student laptops

Recondition some old laptops for use by students (about a dozen)

40 new desktop PCs

Remove 9 old switches and get rid of an old network in the primary school, moving their PCs to the whole site network instead

Virtualise 7 servers onto 2 physical, by moving all data onto a NAS, formatting the DAS array and rebuilding for reliability and speed, then put it all back, with virtual servers hosted on it too. All interconnected by a new 8Gbit FC switch.

Upgrade 20 iMacs to latest OS X, also install Windows image to them as well for bootcamp.

Set up Apple server, integrate all Apple computers with Windows network

Install 4 new iMacs

Install RAM upgrades in 335 PCs and laptops

Upgrade AD to Windows 2008 R2

Migrate all PCs and laptops to Windows 7 and Office 2010

Move some access points from over-dense areas to cover black spots

Set up 30 Google Chromebooks (not confirmed yet, but assumed).

Set up a new digital display box

Set up 2 55" touchscreen LCDs, one mobile, one in a classroom.

Roll out Forefront AV to replace NOD32.

 

2 of us on the job. Its gonna be tight.

 

Taking a long vacation, this should be on everyone list as number 1.

 

Hahaha! Yeah. I'm gonna get a week. That's it.

Backpacking from Denmark to Moscow, music festivals, xbmc developers conference

 

Oh work? Well might set-up some more redundancy for our servers and get the new ipads setup, and create the parent accounts for TASC insight but that's about it.

 

Nice to see people moving away from CC3 to the freedom of vanilla networks. I doubt you will regret it.
