About me

My main focus is the design, installation, and troubleshooting of our Citrix XenDesktop VDI environment, our Microsoft servers and applications on Dell, HP, and Cisco UCS rack-mount and blade servers as well as virtual servers on Hyper-V clusters.
Other primary responsibilities include administration of a 37 PVS-provisioned server Citrix XenApp 6 farm, Websense Security Gateway V10k appliance clusters, administration of EMC XtremIO, VNX, and Centera fibre channel SAN environments, administration of the Imprivata OneSign Single Sign-On environment, and Appsense Environment Manager.
Secondary duties involve managing EMC Avamar disk-to-disk backups of all servers and critical laptops and workstations.
I have been involved in developing a managed services division and have experience with Kaseya and LPI as well as general MSP best practices.
In addition, I also have experience with Microsoft SCCM and SCOM system management apps.
Past experience includes Exchange 5.5, 2000, and 2003 installations and migrations from Groupwise, Lotus Notes, and Oracle Communications Messaging Server and SQL server implemenations, upgrades, and administration. I also have installed and configured various enterprise anti-virus/malware solutions.
