Perceptive Software is a software development company in Shawnee, KS. At the
|
|
time I worked there, it was a subsidiary of Lexmark International, Inc. As a
|
|
member of the System Administrator team, I was responsible for maintaining the
|
|
internal IT systems that served employees in the Shawnee headquarters building.
|
|
Mostly Windows-based systems, these servers were housed in an on-premises
|
|
data center. My primary focus was the consolidation and relocation of systems
|
|
to a new campus. This project involved countless migrations of systems from
|
|
physical machines to virtual machines or cloud instances, application
|
|
redeployments, and sunsetting of disused services.
