  • Business Applications Consultant

    Sunhillo Corporation

    (Aviation & Aerospace industry)

    20082008 (less than a year)

    Sunhillo was looking to improve the speed of their internet access and the reliability of their e-mail. The system we implemented, Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2003 R2, provided for much quicker internet access for all users and Exchange Server 2003 -- an e-mail solution providing for e-mail access from practically anywhere. We migrated all users onto the new network with minimal disruption or loss of legacy e-mail data. We also facilitated the switchover to a new ISP, and relocated Sunhillo's external Web site to a new hosting service. We were responsible for reconfiguring all related DNS records, and we setup additional SPAM filtering, as well as a backup strategy for e-mail for any time when the server is down for any reason.

    SyncraTec is presently preparing to install Windows Server 2008 and Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Workgroup Edition on a member server, along with Windows SharePoint Services 3.0.
