Servers and virtualization

Server work that accounts for everything depending on it.

JMB handles server migrations, Active Directory work, virtualization, and Remote Desktop environments. Jaen can plan the change, configure the systems, and work through the application and network dependencies.

Discuss your project

Before retiring the old server, find out what still uses it.

A server may host more than the application people remember. It can also provide DNS, authentication, file access, print services, scheduled tasks, or connections used by another system.

JMB reviews those roles before planning a move. The scope covers the supporting services and the checks needed to demonstrate that the replacement is ready.

Systems engineering services.

Active Directory and DNS

Domain-controller migrations, replication and DNS investigation, directory health, permissions, Group Policy, and cleanup of inherited configuration.

Windows Server migrations

Workload inventory, replacement planning, staging, data and application moves, validation, and the retirement of old systems after dependencies are addressed.

Virtualization and storage

Hyper-V and existing virtual infrastructure, host and guest configuration, resource constraints, network paths, storage connectivity, and backup requirements.

Remote Desktop environments

RDS architecture, access, profiles, application delivery, performance troubleshooting, and coordination of server and software licensing.

Performance problems need measurements.

Slow application access does not automatically mean the server needs another network card. Storage latency, memory pressure, name resolution, application behavior, and security software can all be part of the investigation.

Jaen gathers evidence across the host, guest, network, and application before recommending a change. The objective is to correct the cause rather than buy hardware on a guess.

Leave a system someone can maintain.

A server project should include configuration records, administrative access, backup and recovery requirements, patching responsibilities, and the agreed application tests. JMB can deliver the project and hand it to your team, or include the environment in managed support.
