Responsibilities:

• System Center 2012 Virtual Machine Manager - The configuration I built was two Hyper-V based physical servers - HP ProLiant DL380gen8 in Hyper-V Cluster managed by SCVMM, connected to HP P2000G3 shared storage. I have created VM templates for each server role to allow quick one click server deployment. During deployment server takes IP from a pool and then joins the Active Directory domain automatically. Hardware of the Virtual machines was dynamic. Server groups were organized in clouds and assigned to different administrators depending on the projects. Each Virtual machine was highly available. I’ve done a lot of PowerShell Scripting combined with Orchestrator run-books to automate deployment. Created large number of service template for deployment of custom HP home grown Linux servers.
