Super Busy Month!


First, two new system implementations were approved by the Customer. Then, little that I realised that there was another two more in the RFI and design stage.

The first two implementations, one is for the migration of SharePoint system from one DC to another, virtualisation, then the new systems are to run Windows Server 2016 and SharePoint 2016. We hit an issue with one of the UAT server, a MS SQL DB VM, not sure what happened, when the Veritas Netbackup Enterprise Client's image was backing up the DB via the ESXi, it failed after running a few minutes.  The team tried to fix the issue, but to no solution. In the end, we had to reinstall the whole server.

The other implementation has something to do with Big Data Analytics, the system is to process huge TB chunks of data. Software from Microstrategy, Cloudera and Talend were used. At this time, it was still being setup. Due to the inexperience of the team, external consultants have to be brought in.

Coming soon, the other two still in the discussion stage, an upgrade of the existing system and the other is for the enhancement of the existing system as well. These new implementations would keep us busy for the next 4-6 months.
