Projects

·        Uniform Server Administration: this project involves the automation of generic work within Reaal IT. I help with competing data in HP Universal CMDB. Thinking, brainstorm to realize Opalis workflows (automation tool).

·        Acceptance testing: design and implementation of test cases before accepting project or product into production. For example: component failure testing, load testing.

·        Fallback test for MQ and Biztalk infrastructure: to approve that the disaster recovery is feasible. Preparation, implementation and documentation.

The complexity in the MQ infrastructure with this project also significantly reduced. Installation, configuration and license inventory.

·        Upgrade: IBM Websphere MQ Series 5.3 to 7.0.1. Support for version 5.3 expired so an upgrade was necessary. Installation, testing and documentation.

·        Migration: MOVEit, the capacity of data centres in Alkmaar and Utrecht has become too small for SNS REAAL. Chosen for 2 new data centres to set up and all hardware needs to move. This went together with the virtualization of the server park. Preparation, implementation and coordination of the moving.
