PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
HEWLETT PACKARD 2010 a" present
Working as a Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Design and Architect Cons
ultant, on a Federal Government Project.
AUTOMATIC DATA PROCESSING CORPORATION, Roseland, NJ 1991 a"
2009
Lead BCP/DR Analyst: (2006 a" 2009)
Formulated and verified implementation of BCP/DR plans and recovery procedures f
or LAN environments in (30) regionally located Data Centers, and documented them
for publication to all regional Operations Executives. Created and maintained a
sequence of restoration plan for all production servers based on application pr
iorities. Coordinated and oversaw execution of all LAN Disaster Recovery Tests f
or the (30) regional Data Centers. Published and distributed all DR Test result
reports, and managed the resolution of any issues or take-a-ways discovered duri
ng the testing process. Was the BCP/DR representative on all work with the compa
nyas internal Auditing Department on SOX, KPMG and SAS70 surveys, reports and co
ncerning take-away issues. .
a Instituted and managed a Project which involved developing and building a base
LAN Disaster Recovery environment in Corporate Headquarters, which would act as
a failover Hot-site in support of (30) regionally located offices. This idea cr
eated a BCP/DR solution for regional outages where beforehand none existed, and
helped remedy a tremendous vulnerability.
a Researched, tested and submitted a proposal to purchase a LAN backup/recovery
software product which after being purchased and implemented, significantly impr
oved the RTO of a regional LAN infrastructure. The product proved to cut the tot
al restoration time in half after additional POC testing.
a Implemented an automated program which would review regional LAN server backup
processing activities and verify that the appropriate LAN servers were being pr
operly backed up to tape. This process ensured compliance with the Corporate LAN
DR backup and offsite storage procedures, and ensured that the media was sent t
o the off-site storage vendor in accordance with the company DR off-site vaultin
g standards.
a Conceived and invented a method and means of providing failover capabilities a
nd Business Continuity to a very high priority client payroll server. This high
risk server existed in (30) regional Data Centers throughout the U.S., and previ
ously had no recovery plan in place. Worked in conjunction with the company LAN
Engineering and Network Engineering groups to make my idea a functional reality,
creating a recovery option and preventing any extensive downtime of client payr
oll processing.
