Windows / Linux Integration

Since 1995 I have been integrating Windows and Linux/Unix servers to take advantages of the strengths of each to provide services that together are more robust, secure and tailored to client needs than either would be by themselves.

Web Server System Administrator since 1993

Evaluated, built and installed many multi-homing, heavily accessed web server systems. In some cases systems spanned both Windows servers and Linux servers. Many systems setup supported SSL, e-mail-to-fax gateways, PGP, streaming video, on-the-fly gzip decompression, on the fly PDF creation, PHP, SQL database, standard and fast CGI and CGI.pm. Started in 1993 with the NCSA web server and have installed and managed many different servers over the years including EMWACS, IIS, Apache, Oreiley's Web Server.

HIPAA Security Upgrades

Contracted by private regional hospital for assisting with security issues fpr network of several hundred windows 2000 client computers. Network ran with a central PDC running RedHat linux and Samba. Client was required to implement additional security as part of HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996).

WAN Analysis for Ten Distributed Offices

Analysis of web server, network and firewall security for client with 10 offices across the Midwest. Issues investigated included: connectivity across multiple T1 lines, migration from Novel to a Windows 2000 cluster, general IP security, database issues and IT security.

Implemented MRTG, DMZ, new routing tables, secondary firewall with an IDS (snort), dual Internet connections with bandwidth sharing. Client passed two third-party security audits and had no issues relevant to work done.

Microsoft SQL Server Replication

An Iowa department had an existing Microsoft Access project which needed to share data at multiple remote offices with some sites having an intermitent or slow dedicated connection.
