Déploiement d'un réseau de serveurs pour six agences en France — Deploying a server network across six branches in France
Our Infrastructure team has set up a server network to support collaborative working for a company active in the telecommunications sector.
Project study for a turnkey delivery
Requirements analysis for around 150 staff equipped with IT tools across 6 branches throughout France.
Deployment, at all six branches, of virtualisation servers built around Microsoft Server 2019 Standard (Hyper-V role), with (system and VM storage on 2 × 1 TB SSDs in RAID 1) and a data storage pool on 4 × 2 TB disks in RAID 5)
On each server, creation of three VMs (Firewall, Active Directory, File Server), together with a backup strategy for the VMs
Firewall configuration:
Design and implementation of the network architecture and the intra-site IPsec links
Implementation of the security policy rules on each firewall
Implementation of a remote-access VPN for staff working from home
Building of the Active Directory architecture, including:
Creation of the sites
Implementation of the Active Directory security policy
Creation of the GPOs (group policies) to deploy: printers, shared folders, various access rights, VPN, software and configuration scripts, etc.
Creation of the security groups
Creation of the user accounts and their addition to the security groups in order to assign rights
Implementation of the DFS (Distributed File System) rules
File Server configuration:
Configuration of the shared folders and setting of NTFS permissions based on the associated security groups
Implementation of the DFS (Distributed File System) folders
Implementation of the backup strategy
Daily copying and synchronisation of existing data to the new infrastructure ahead of the final switchover
Switchover of the branches (one branch at a time) to the new infrastructure (on-site work), including:
Integration of 150 workstations into the new Active Directory organisation, preceded by an analysis of each workstation and the installation of all Microsoft security updates published as at day one.
First logon for the 150 users in the new Active Directory architecture, with configuration of their sessions and mail profiles.
Verification of access rights for each user
Production of a complete documentation pack for the infrastructure
Knowledge transfer to the group's IT department
