In this mandate, the customer wanted to guarantee the continuation of his operations within a very short time in the event of breakdowns or disasters. We had to conceive a backup solution enabling us to quickly put the customer back on foot. We had to use virtualisation to achieve our goals.

• Design of the solution
• Symantec BackupExec System Recovery deployment on the servers and configuration of “snapshots” at every two hours
• VMWare Workstation deployment on the servers
• Conversion of a “snapshot” into VMWare virtual machine
• Virtual machine publication to validate the backups
• Backup solution management and maintenance

In this mandate, we were to deploy a Microsoft Windows 2003 network. The customer did not have any network installation.

• Needs evaluation
• Development of the network infrastructure
• Acquisition of two new servers and Microsoft SBS 2003 deployment on one of them. Microsoft SBS 2003 product contains all new technologies of the Microsoft products such as Windows 2003, Exchange 2003, ISA 2004, etc

• Design of the solution
• Scriptlogic Deployment on the servers and the stations
• Personalization of the users’ work environment (profile) using Desktop Authority (Email configuration, Network printers installation, stations security, etc).
