Home Network - Testing Grounds for CCDC
This network is actually composed of 4 different networks. Private, Wireless, Public and Testing. The testing environment is currently setup up as the CCDC lab with 5 actual machines and 4 VM workstation/servers ranging from WinXP through W2k3 and Linux with many different configurations and combinations of services. At its heart is one SMC 24 port managed switch and one CISCO 2610mx router. The testing network is designed to be completely isolated and for fast topology changes. The other networks should be self explanatory. |
Friends of Detroit - Four Square Mile Authenticated Wireless Network / Full community center deployment
Friends of Detroit is a grass roots initiative led by Michael Wimberly who owns several buildings and needed an easy and economical way to connect the buildings and the neighborhood's potential customers to the internet. I surveyed the area and deployed a four square miles WiFi network. It uses NOCAT as a gateway with a secondary server for authentication against a MYSQL database. I installed two computer labs with a third under current development. I determined the wiring of the building and installed CAT5e to 22 rooms according to specifications. Additionally, I installed a telecommunications closet housing a DELL server running VMWare's ESXi Hypervisor serving as primary Active Directory, DNS and DHCP servers on Windows 2003, as well as a Trixbox (Asterisk) VOIP Gateway and a RedHat Enterprise 3 authentication server for the wireless community network. Three additional computers serve as secondary Active Directory and DNS servers on Windows 2003, primary gateway using SmoothWall and the wireless community network gateway running on RedHat E3. A 1 terabyte SAN serves as storage for roaming user profiles, their data and documents as well as a repository for applications used in the classrooms and labs. I had to write some VBScript for most teaching software's user data to be available across the network and simulate a roaming profile. This network was designed with security and availability in mind! All publicly accessible user profiles have strict group policies. Necessary flexibility was given to the staff profiles. All traffic is monitored, logged and suspicious activity is reported to me by SNORT. Only necessary connections are allowed from specific computers and internet traffic is virus scanned by ClamAV. Website content in public areas is monitored by Dan'sGuardian filtering software. Remote administration access is over a road-warrior style VPN tunnel, rather than a plain RDP or other remote desktop software. In other words; there is no direct way for anyone to gain or even attempt to gain unauthorized remote access. QoS traffic shaping ensures that all VOIP traffic has the highest priority. Finally, physical security was not neglected! All mission critical hardware is concealed and seaminglessly integrated into the building and under lock and key. |

GoldenMisch - Web Development / DVD Authoring / Business Concept Development
GM was the dream of a friend of mine for a dental tool company that is now in full operation across the globe. I developed the initial website, DVD marketing and DVD instructional videos during its infancy. The DVDs made it all around the world with over 500 copies given out at trade shows or as part as an investor's package. At this time, I am glad to have stepped back from this responsibility and let two larger companies take over these tasks. |
