In our recent project, we faced the challenge of supporting the Client's Disaster Recovery Testing initiative for their IBM Storwize V5030 system. The task involved implementing a new IBM Storwize V5030E system in the Chicago, IL, data centre production environment while repurposing the old V5030 as a replication target. Our main challenge was to ensure seamless synchronisation between the V5030E (source) and V5030 (target) systems and conduct a simulated disaster recovery scenario to validate functionality.

To address the challenge, we meticulously implemented the new technology IBM Storwize V5030E system in the Chicago, IL, data centre. We established a robust plan to synchronise data between the V5030E and V5030 systems, ensuring data integrity and continuity. Rigorous testing procedures were implemented to simulate a disaster recovery scenario, guaranteeing that the systems could seamlessly switch over in case of an actual emergency. Our team monitored the process to mitigate risks and ensure a successful transition.

A prominent digital commerce company spanning nearly 20 countries, boasting a diverse team of designers, marketers, creatives, data scientists, and software engineers, faced the task of resolving authentication issues within their DUO system. This initiative addressed authentication challenges for over 5,000 users and 3,000 Windows machines, encompassing ADFS, LDAP, DUO, Windows HELLO, and auto-enrolment.

Our team conducted a comprehensive assessment of the client's DUO implementation in collaboration with a senior engineer to address the authentication issues. A robust redesign of the authentication system was executed and rigorously tested to ensure seamless functionality. Furthermore, client-side administrators were actively involved in training and knowledge transfer sessions to equip them with the necessary skills to maintain the optimised design in the long term.

The complexity of integrating diverse IoT devices, such as cameras, thermostats and sensors, into the Azure public cloud for our customer's parking garage infrastructure posed a significant challenge. Ensuring seamless connectivity, efficient data transmission, and robust security protocols across the IoT network required meticulous planning and expertise to optimise operational efficiency and safeguard sensitive data.

By meticulously designing and implementing a comprehensive IoT cloud solution on Microsoft Azure, we successfully overcame the challenge of integrating diverse IoT devices within our customer's parking garage infrastructure. Leveraging Azure's advanced features, we established a seamless connectivity framework for thermostats and cameras, enabling efficient data transmission and management in the cloud. This solution enhanced operational efficiency and fortified the garage's security posture, ensuring optimal performance and data protection.
