Project details
TeliaSonera - Project manager, Migration & Consolidation program
Background
The program aimes to consolidate & migrate servers to the main data centres.
Main responsibility is to predict and build needed infrastructure (capacity planning) for the migrations and consolidations.
Deliverables
OPEX & CAPEX reductions in the larger perspective but capacity planning and CAPEX spend in the shorter.. Decommissioning and/or migrations to virtual environments as well as to new Windows or Linux servers reduce the support & maintenance cost.
Role
Project manager
TeliaSonera - Project manager, Server Production UNIX
Background
The project aimed to consolidate servers within Server Operations (SO) data centres and streamline the server production.
Most of the servers that Server Production UNIX is maintaining are old and need to be replaced, that to be able to reduce cost for support and maintenance.
Deliverables
OPEX & CAPEX reductions. Decommissioning of 200+ UNIX servers, migrations were made to virtual UNIX environments as well as to Windows & Linux.
A HP PA-RISC emulation platform was built based on HP VM and HP9000 containers.
Role
Project manager/Technical project manager
TeliaSonera - SCRUM master Server Production UNIX &
Technical implementation of cost allocation
Background
A more agile work method was needed for the proactive team of Server Production UNIX.
The cost of the storage and backup infrastructure needed to be allocated to different organizations within TeliaSonera.
Deliverables
SCRUM sprintplanning, daily scrum and retrospective meetings.
Standardized storage and backup reports for cost allocation.
Role
Designer/Executor/SCRUM master
TeliaSonera - Technical Specialist UNIX
Background
Standardize and implement needed infrastructure to be able to hadle a large scale UNIX environment with focus on low maintenance solutions.
Deliverables
Cost cutting solutions due to standardized services, faster deliveries and easier management of UNIX servers.
Role
Project Manager/Designer/Executor
TeliaSonera - TS Service Catalogue Implementation
Background
Implementation of the already written Service catalogue, some services had to be redefined due to technical and organizaional changes and there was a need to implement the same services trought out the Server Operation Organization within TeliaSonera.
Deliverables
Cost cutting due to standardized services
First step towards unified deliveries in Sweden, Denmark, Finland
Defined KPI & chaging model of the service
Role
Project Manager/Designer/Executor
TeliaSonera - TeliaSonera Virtualization DC Haninge
Background
Datacenter consolidation projects was running and there was a need for space, power and UPS capacity in the Haninge datacenter. A standard platform for consolidations had been built (TSVP) and consolidation to a virtual environment using third generation physical to virtual migration tools made it possible at a considerable lower investment and was more time effective than traditional migrations.
There were also a need of replacing the hardware in a Solaris based Symantec HA cluster environment, this was done to be able to save on CPU based database and application licenses.
Deliverables
The project upgraded the hardware and software of a cluster together with documentation and proper ordering rutines.
More than 250 machines was virtualized, documented processes of physical to virtual migrations were created and routines established.
Role
Project Manager, Technical project manager, Designer, Executor
TeliaSonera - TeliaSonera Virtual Platform
Background
Several consolidation projects were running and there was a need for a standard platform. A consolidation one to one is a very expensive and time consuming method. Consolidation to a virtual environment can be done at a considerable lower investment and is more time effective but a virtual platform must be built first.
Deliverables
TSVP delivered an initial installation of a virtualized platform based on HP Blade c7000 enclosure, HP Virtual Connect and VMware ESX server 3.5.
TSVP also delivered a Virtualized Server production, this to make sure that other projects are able to use the platform.
Operational and ordering processes was delivered and tested after the production environment had been available to the depending projects.
Role
Project Manager, Technical project manager, Designer, Executor
TeliaSonera - Solaris Consolidation DC Haninge
Background
All existing hardware in the Haninge datacenter using the SPARC processor was covered by the project. Moving from SPARC to x86 was beyond the scope of the project but were to be considered separately after the hardware replacement project.
The project examined the possibility to replace old hardware running software with expensive support cost (based on number of cpus). This required the involvement of not only server production personnel but also members of the applications- and database- groups whose services run on the servers.
Deliverables
Decreace of hardware and Oracle supportcost, upgrade specific cluster to supported versions of the cluster software.
Role
Project Manager, Technical project manager, Designer
Swedish National Police Board - POC, MySQL & JBoss
Background
The Swedish National Police Board were using a combination of HP/UX, Oracle and Bea WLS for most of their internal developed software. All of these three softwares are expensive and it might be possible to replace them with OpenSource softwares such as Linux, MySQL and JBoss.
Deliverables
The project produced a proof of consept converting an application to Linux, MySQL and JBoss.
Role
Technical project manager, Executor
Griffith University - POC, DNS & DHCP evaluation
Background
The system handling the DNS & DHCP services were old and needed to be upgraded or replaced. An evaluation of products from Infoblox is needed as input for the decision making. The university has more than 14000 machines and makes lots of DNS & DHCP updates each day.
Deliverables
Installed, compared and make sure that all functionality used in the old system also is availiable using products from Infoblox. The new system should also need less maintenance, be more redundant and easier to update.
Role
Executor
Griffith University - Solaris 10 Jumpstart solution
Background
The university installed a disaster recovery site in a different campus, the solaris jumpstart environment needed to be updated, complemented with a second server at the disaster recovery site. Both servers should work independently in case of a machine room meltdown.
Deliverables
Installed, configured and made sure that all functionality used in the old jumpstart environment also were availiable in the new version of the jumpstart server. All jumpstart profiles were syncronized using the unison software.
Role
Executor
Griffith University - Solaris 10 zones/containers
Background
The university was in need of a more costeffective lab/test environment for solaris servers.
Deliverables
Installed, configured and made sure that new lab/test environment had all functionality needed.
Role
Executor
TeliaSonera - Datacenter consolidation
Background
The datacenter located in Kalmar needed to be moved to Haninge, all functions such as LAN, SAN, backup need to be the same.
Deliverables
Installed, configured and made sure that the moved environment had all functionality needed.
Role
Executor testing the backup functionality
