Designed, upgraded, and implemented our Global NetScaler environment to match industry standard best practices for routing, switching, and load balancing of our Virtual Desktop environment. This was a stretch assignment for me and I was challenged to work across towers to communicate requirements of this new platform, learn the new platform, and implement changes and upgrades without compromising our Virtual Desktop environment.
