This document outlines the findings of the TIES technology audit conducted on January 11, 2011. The audit identified various issues related to network hardware, security, and backups. Key improvements have been made, including the replacement of all network switches and migration to a 2010 Exchange server. However, several issues remain unresolved, such as single points of failure and inadequate backup systems. The project aims to establish a more reliable, flexible infrastructure through virtualization. The estimated total project cost is $199,326.17.

Technology Update 11 Jan 2011
TIES Technology Audit TIES identified issues with: • Network hardware (switches, servers) • Network routing • Network security • Network configuration • Backup system • System updates and patches • Active Directory
Network Upgrades so far… • Replaced all network switches • Wireless Access Points • Migration to 2010 Exchange server • Reconfigure Active Directory including permissions structure • Installed redundant firewall and filter • Installed new email filter
Issues That Remain • Single points of failure (no redundancy) • 100’s of websites on multiple servers • Archaic servers and end of life software • Back up and recovery systems are inadequate • Difficult system administration and maintenance
Virtualization - Need • Replace archaic hardware • Centralize systems • Provide Redundant systems • Dynamic expansion • Affordable recovery of systems & data
Virtualization - Advantages • Easier systems management • Easier systems administration • Easier systems maintenance • Easier data recovery • Easier deployments • Hardware consolidation • Going green
Virtualization - Goals • Provide: • a reliable, flexible, and manageable infrastructure • for a well-designed Windows Server infrastructure. • services within the private cloud for the infrastructure. • highly available data access within the private cloud accompanied with dynamic management and administrative capabilities.
Project Scope • Setup an infrastructure with a virtualization platform on new servers and storage hardware • Finish upgrade on Microsoft Active Directory (AD) services • Virtualize and configure any needed infrastructure services.
