NetFlow Analysis Server

The client was a network administrator interested in implementing a NetFlow analysis server over their local network for the sake of threat intelligence, or security. By utilizing the internet-traffic session data produced by this server, the client would be able to view information regarding application names, session duration, bandwidth utilization, and more. This information can allow…

Failover Lab Server Win2016

The purpose of the project is to provide redundancy for the primary lab server’s roles and avoid any downtime when/if the server is down. The redundancy server works as a secondary DNS server, currently taking 50% of the DHCP server load and has the Active Directory currently running, which is synchronized with the primary server….
