• Exchange assessment and design recommendations for Silicon Valley Bank. As a follow-up to the Microsoft<br />
standard Exchange Health Check procedure, performed Exchange infrastructure assessment focusing on several<br />
areas as requested by customer. Reviewed and analyzed early design proposals for the new site-redundant messaging<br />
design (two sites, Exchange 2003 front-end/back-end topology, clustering, site resiliency, EMC and HDS<br />
storage design and layout, secure access for external clients); provided guidelines and recommendations based<br />
on Microsoft best practices and personal experience.<br />
• SQL Server 2000/2005 Analysis and Architecture for Levi Strauss & Co. Together with application/development<br />
consultant we assessed existing database services infrastructure (more than 300 databases<br />
hosted by ~15 SQL Server instances for various applications), analyzed application architecture and requirements,<br />
conducted detailed performance analysis, provided server design for the new 64-bit (IBM eServer x366) SQL<br />
Server 2005 clustered environment with EMC CLARiiON CX700 SAN storage, formulated requirements for both<br />
SQL 2005 and SQL 2000 cluster systems, performed actual installations of both 64-bit and 32-bit SQL Server<br />
2005 clusters.<br />
• Active Directory and Exchange consolidation for California State Automobile Association (CSAA). After the<br />
merger with Western United CSAA needed a consolidation solution. I analyzed and assessed existing directory<br />
(Windows 2003) and messaging (Exchange 2003) services infrastructure, provided recommendations and proposed<br />
high level design options for the consolidated environment.<br />
• SQL Server 2000 clustering for Edwards Life Sciences. Installed and configured 64-bit (IBM eServer x460)<br />
Windows 2003 based SQL Server 2000 active/passive cluster for the mission critical JDE database. Provided<br />
team training on SQL Server clustering. Provided recommendations on cluster and SQL Server configuration and<br />
performance optimization.<br />
• Exchange infrastructure assessment for Wells Fargo Bank. Performed discovery and assessment for Exchange<br />
2000 based messaging infrastructure at Wells Fargo (150,000 users with projected growth to 200,000).<br />
Analyzed server and storage configuration (HP ProLiant BL20p blade servers, Hitachi Lightning 9980V SAN storage)<br />
and conducted performance analysis based on MOM implementation and perfmon logs. Identified configuration<br />
issues, risk factors, and proposed remediation steps and design recommendations for the new Exchange<br />
2003 based environment. Created an executive presentation and detailed assessment and recommendations<br />
document.<br />
• Exchange 2003 SP2 rollout plan for Marriott. Performed infrastructure assessment for the existing Exchange<br />
2003 based messaging environment at Marriott (95,000 users), analyzed risks and created a testing and deployment<br />
plan for Exchange 2003 Service Pack 2.<br />
• Exchange 2003 architecture and design for Autodesk. Performed initial discovery and assessment for the existing<br />
Exchange 2000-based infrastructure. Analyzed business and technical requirements and architected three<br />
potential design proposals based on stand-alone and clustered Exchange installations for 15,000 users with servers<br />
consolidated in three company datacenters. Performed capacity and performance based storage planning for<br />
EMC CLARiiON CX700 SAN storage. Created vision and scope document, detailed design and architecture plan,<br />
capacity and performance planning document, cluster design document.<br />
• Exchange 2003 consolidation, cluster installation, and migration planning for Levi Strauss & Co. Designed<br />
and documented the 3-node (Active/Active/Passive) Exchange 2003 cluster installation for 5,000 users. Created<br />
consolidation plan, server and storage configuration (IBM eServer x445, EMC CLARiiON CX700 SAN), naming<br />
conventions and cluster configuration, installation scenario, simulation testing plan, pilot migration plan, disaster<br />
recovery plan. Conducted performance analysis to determine server capacity and performance requirements. Built<br />
Exchange cluster, configured Exchange resources, performed initial troubleshooting and failover testing.<br />
• Exchange 2003 public folders migration for Charles Schwab. Used InterOrg public folders replication tool to<br />
help migrating public folders across different Exchange 2003 organizations. Other tools involved: PubMerge,<br />
PFDavAdmin, Exprofre, mailbox migration wizard, LoadSim 2003, etc. Set up a lab to build the proof of concept<br />
and demo the required functionality to the customer.<br />
July 2004 – July 2005 Senior Windows / Exchange Administrator, Google, Inc. , Mountain View, CA, USA<br />
At Google, I was member of Windows Operations team responsible for all Microsoft servers infrastructure, with specialization<br />
