Commented on An amazing platform to build on but IAM policies, and cross account access needs improvement.
Not necessarily anything that other products would lack, it would actually be more of a "nice to have". It's definitely not a deal breaker by any means. I take the idea from the concept that AWS has with AMIs, for instance, or places where there are public repositories of…

Contributed a review of Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers: Until recently I had the PE2650 and PE4400 when everything got replaced, so it's reliable hardware. However, there's a learning curve setting up the OpenManage server and agents.

About me
Extensive experience in an enterprise Microsoft Active Directory Environment (2003/2008/2012/2012R2)
Accomplishments:
VMWare:
- Led the implementation of a full VMware infrastructure a large environment (300+ server), including an implementation of VMware including 500+ VMs, using Dell PowerEdge servers, Equallogic, and Compellent enterprise storage.
- Successfully performed a full upgrade from VMware 4.0 to 5.1 with no downtime to the production environment.
Active Directory Integration:
- Single-handedly created an integrated environment between a Student Information System (Aeries), and Active Directory, providing a fully automated and scripted environment for user provisioning and maintenance, using a self-created, MSSQL based database as a middleware.
Active Directory Compliance:
- Successfully completed a project to reduce the number of redundant child/external domains in Active Directory down to three (3) only, all the while optimizing DNS/WINS services, as well as site replication.
Role Based Access Control (RBAC):
- Transformed a flat Active Directory infrastructure, into a fully RBAC compliant database, making ACL and other resource access reporting very easily possible.
DFS:
- Implemented DFS across multiple branches, increasing redundancy, and making server migration/decommissioning completely transparent to the end users.
AWS Cloud Infrastructures:
- Designed and implemented full infrastructures in Amazon Web Services, delivering highly available applications using EC2, S3, CloudWatch, CloudFormation, RDS, ELB, and other Amazon services.
XenApp and RDS:
- Designed and deployed XenApp and RDS environments while automating provisioning for ease of scalability. This was done to provide web based turn key solutions.
