Remember the glowing orb on altered beast? I hit one of them Thursday as the tech skillz auto-incremented.
New accomplishment:
Lead admin on the migration of 5 TB of data / 4.88 million live users to a geographically remote data center. Migration performed without error in 6-hour maintenance window. Actual data migration time: 1.5 minutes. Total storage migration time including validation: 1 hr.
This came on the tail of an emergency migration from failing hardware. I don't know if it is a record, but according to both the Bear data and Net App techs, a company of our size successfully provisioning, powering, and installing a 16 TB NetApp SAN in 72 hours and then migrating live production onto it in 5 days is unheard-of. That was without interruption or a maintenance window.
While this is a drop-in-the-bucket compared to the volume of data that folks like ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) smackjackal handle, it is certainly a strong mark on my resume and is a heck of a first for me.
Especially when you consider I didn't know squat about SAN's 6 months ago. |
