Maintenance of firewalls and proxy servers.

Development and implementation of Backup and Disaster policies for the site
The Backup and disaster recovery plan for the site was not in place at that time. Individual development groups were performing the backups. The projects involved consolidation of the backup on a single system and also build a disaster recovery plan for the site, by classifying the systems under different classes based on the criticality to business continuity.

Development and implementation of a monitoring system for all the servers and Network equipments
The site did not have a monitoring system for the systems and network equipments. A comprehensive systems and network monitoring system had to be developed. Designed and developed a system using OpenView and Advance Stack Assistant software s for system and network equipment monitoring respectively.

Development and implementation of scheme for storage of the software s and development of scripts for standardizing the installation procedure.
Planned and executed the project of setting up depots of all the available software on a single server and put up scripts which will install the needed software s on the server. This also included installation of all the necessary tools and software s required by the developers in a single place and tuning of the kernel to standardize the build procedure of new boxes.

Development of scripts to automate the daily monitoring tasks.
Scripts were developed for the site to check out the system for security vulnerabilities and send across the message in form of mails, interpret the messages from the mails showing the security loop holes and take necessary action to set right the same, where the developers are not effected.

Division of the network based on the usage class of the system for enhanced security
The site had development and application critical servers on the same subnet. Due to this the tighter security measures, which were needed on the secure subnet could not be implemented, which would hamper the daily work of the developers. Hence the project was taken up to isolate the developmental servers from site critical servers and to allow all the services, which do not constitute security breach out of the developmental network and management if proxy servers and firewalls.
