  Technical specialist - software engineering - oracle dba - unix server administrator

  Telstra wide Content Management SystemI Installed and maintained the Database infrastructure for the Telstra wide Intranet Content Management System. I Installed and built the Unix servers which provided the backend storage infrastructure.• 5 Unix Midrange Servers • SUN Fire V480’s running Solaris 9• I Installed and configured the Oracle Databases : Oracle 9i (Release 2): 9.2.0.1I provided all of the Unix System Administration for these hosts (patching, replication, DR, etc) plus the Database administration and development. I also created an active failover system which enabled us to perform system administration operations without inducing an outage. The hosts could be actively failed over to the remote replication hosts and failed back with minimal downtime (5 seconds) but not loss in data. This failover mechanism was written by me in Java which I installed and configured on the hostsI also provided Database hosting on these servers for other groups and sections in TelstraTechnology used to Achieve this goalJava, Oracle DBA, Oracle Developer, Unix Shell Scripting, Unix Systems Administrator, SQL, PHP, Javascript, HTML Show less
