Welcome to linux world, TSB. After a year I try to convince them (TSB) to have linux & opensource solution into their I.T environment, finally they agreed. Even I managed to get only few solution, but hey! it's worth for the sake of linux & opensource future in Malaysia. At the beginning I just put one Linux box in their office running Noguix linux acting as their internet router/gateway, file server using samba and clamAV for virus scanning. Previously, they use normal windows file sharing, internet sharing and this always caused them a problem everytime their files and data get infected with virus, data loss and etc. But with opensource solution, they now can control their internet & users efficiently. Like I said, it's small solution but the most important is, TSB like the solution which cost them less, free, & realiable. I hope in future, there will be more SMB company start believing on Linux and opensource solution like TSB.

Hmm another project successfully delivered. Glad we managed to complete it within 4 days. Thanks to my junior "Fadli" who help me a lot on setting up the hardware & software during the project. It's good experience for both of us since we playing a lot with IBM DS3300 iscsi HBA instead of FC HBA, vmware VCB, SLES10, unison and complicated vlan.

Another VMware ESX project for KIC Oil will kick-in this month. This will be another fun project for me and thanks to KIC Oil and my Boss because giving me another opportunity to run the project & work with KIC Oil once again in JB. This time I will play again with ESX, UPS Smart Suite SLES10, samba & rsync same like what I did in KL. The only thing different, I need to setup for them IBM DS3300 plus VMware Virtual Consolidate Backup (VCB) and maybe Bacula or Amanda Backup as for their virtual machine backup.

New experience & new challange for me and my colleague (Lai) which almost make our day so difficult today. First time hands-on with DS3400 we already expect time consuming on the storage allocation. Fibre channel, default IP address, array configuration & zoning for DS3400 really take some time to finish it. We did it with extra careful just want to make sure all the setup & configuration follow our solution design. When the new SAN box is ready, our job become more easily including ESX datastore creation, virtual machine installation & etc. Hey! we concentrate too much on the hardware part today luckly we able to finished it as per our schedule.

Hmmm quite buzy lately till no time to update this site! Anyway, below is the lastest project I get involve personally / private :

 

 

BTW, I still accepting any project offer If you all really looking for Linux Support
