The last couple weeks have flown by. I started my new gig as a Systems Engineer with Mirazon on October 1st. I've had the chance to work on several of our customers network so far. Some highlights:
- Network performance testing (iperf) between MetroE locatios
- SSLVPN troubleshooting
- IPSec VPN provisioning
- Wireless point-to-point (Ruckus FTW) between-building design
- New firewall provisioning
- Core network re-design and cutover
I've also had the opportunity to attend some partner-training and product-training:
- A new Dedupe/backup storage partner (backup target)
- Veeam Backup & Replication v5 (vPower) training
- Datacore SAN Melody DCIE training
One of the hardest things I'm dealing with right now is going back to Windows. I miss my Mac! For the last few years I've primarily sat in my office with a nice large external monitor. The "local screen size" wasn't a big deal. Now that I'm more mobile, I've discovered the need for more pixels. I need the screen real estate! So, I bit the bullet and went back to a nice PC to get pixel density. With a 20% Dell Outlet coupon, I ended up with a sweet Dell Inspiron i7 Quad Core, 8gigs of RAM, 320gig hybrid spin/ssd drive, 1920×1080 display, etc. So far so good.
Anyway, that's that. I hope to finish the DCIE process in the next few weeks and then I need to start focusing on my MCITP: Enterprise Admin process. Never a dull moment.
What's been going on in YOUR world?
Pretty sure the only thing i understood in this post was “20% dell outlet coupon”. Anyway…miss you guys.
