Server & Websites Migration With the growth of PurpleParrot Client Websites, there was a need for a new and better server for hosting the web sites. I took the lead in setting up the server environment which included software installtion, configuring the server, setting up of the database, backup plans, SMTP server, and IIS configuration. Migrated all the websites from the old server which included not just sites but also SSL certificates, backups, databases, mail post offices. The server environment included Windows 2008, IIS 7.0, MailEnable, SQL Server 2008, and SSL certificates. Also established HelpDesk for PurpleParrot for tracking of the client’s issues. This whole process was well documented for the benefit of the team.
