Discover how to optimize IT infrastructure by integrating systems for improved efficiency and automation. This guide covers the benefits of using centralized databases like Active Directory/HR databases for user management and highlights tools such as Coban for vehicle assignment and MS SQL for data mining. Learn how to leverage Microsoft Excel pivot tables for analysis, implement SQL Reporting Services for report generation, and understand RADIUS for network authentication. Address security, replication, and disaster recovery to protect your critical data.

Integration Goals of IT: - Make work more efficient by integrating. • Make repetitive tasks automated. • Active Directory/ HR database that can be used as a central user database. Motor Transport/Vehicle assignment database Coban includes a standard import procedure to import a CSV file.
SQL data mining DVMS uses several industry standards, one of which is MS SQL databases. Remember that the information that you store is YOURS, ad you can manipulate it in ways that fit your business model. We will often add new reporting and features driven by feedback, but this doesn’t prevent you from using the data you have to run special reports. If you need help with our data structure or a data dictionary, just ASK.
Using Pivot Tables Microsoft Excel is a very powerful tool that can be used to crunch numbers and generate statistics based on a data dump. If you already have an office suite that include pivot table functionality (even openoffice). You can run reports without any additional costs for specialized software! Show sample pivot table with some information?
Using SQL Reporting Services MS SQL also includes a reporting service that can generate reports and even publish them on the web. In addition, any DBA’s are familiar with different utilities such as Crystal Reports, which simplify the creation of reports.
Network Authentication RADIUS Servers, certificates, PKI Microsoft – NPS, IAS Cisco – ACS, WCS Self Signed Certificates VS trusted certificates What is right for the video system? WPA2/PSK? Network overhead? Personnel and support overhead?
Data security/Replication and DR What data needs to be replicated? All Video? What information is important if the main server site is lost? How important is the audit trail for a DR site? Replication can be accomplished inside the system using: Secondary Storage NAS Tape Library Redundant Site Costs VS end result, what situations are you protected in? Do you want HA or DR? (not the same)
BYOD trend IPhones - 64byte packets instead of 1kb packets. Large amount of discrete traffic that puts strain on overhead. Security and scalability issues.
