8. PREVIOUS WORK EXPERIENCE:
Employer
Position
Standard Bank SA
Technical Deployment Manager (Contractor)
Completed Projects:
• MainView Health
A health check / Technical assessment was conducted between
Gijima and Standard Bank Technical teams to determine at what
level the installed / configured licensed BMC MainView products
are being utilized. The main objective of this initiative is to
implement a Service Improvement plan to enhance the usage
and benefits where the MainView Health check identified short
comings. This entails retraining of Standard Bank Technical
staff, knowledge transfer and customisation of the licensed
tools to accommodate the specific requirements of the various
Standard Bank Technical teams.
• GTI River Club DR Data Centre (RDC) Facilities
Upgrade
1. Security upgrades
The monitoring of the River Club Data Centre (RDC) Computer Rooms
via CCTV is inadequate and poses a security risk. Installing additional
surveillance cameras, will supplement the existing processes relating to
physical access, change control and electronic access. CCTV will provide
for continuous monitoring and will address the potential tampering with
equipment and / or illegal entry into the DC.
2. RDC Office upgrades - Staff growth and - RCC Air-
condition Unit 9 in RC2 Electrical
Parking for SBSA staff at RDC is inadequate and no alternative offsite
parking is available in close proximity. An additional 20+ parking bays
can be created with limited effort and resources.
The staff facilities in the office block (gym cloak rooms, security
kitchenette, and cleaning staff change rooms) are dated and require
upgrading The exterior of the office block also needs to be repainted.
All bathrooms are to be removed from the DC as this is poses a
flooding risk.
Chillers are a critical component of the DC’s cooling system, but are
energy intensive. A chiller control unit is proposed to manage the load
conditions which will result in improved energy efficiencies in the DC.
The current management control unit on the cooling
Towers are a single point of failure and a backup unit is required.
3. City Power - Khanyisa additional capacity
The switch gear needs to be replaced to raise the safety, reliability and
performance standards in the River Club Data Centre. This will also
minimise downtime and improve the reliability of the RDC power.
Distribution board (DB) monitoring is required to automatically detect
and diagnose faults in energy-consuming equipment or in building
components that directly affect energy usage. With DB board
monitoring equipment in place, measurements can help detect and
diagnose excessive whole-building energy usage and component-level
faults. Integration of DB monitoring into the BMS will provide detailed
information to compile MIS.

9. 4. RDC Security Upgrade finalization - RCCC/SBC BMS
Upgrade
• The following has been identified as work to be included in
the scope for the RCCC/SBC BMS initiative:
• HA / DR setup – server’s installation and
configuration – (JB controls)
• DB board monitoring on the BMS
• Chiller Drive backups integration on the BMS
• Chiller Controls integration on the BMS
5. RDC Civil works - RC Dispatch Kit Out
The dispatch area needs to be upgraded to allow for more efficient
deliveries in the River Club Dispatch designated area i.e.
• Storage Cage to be build
• Tailgate for Dispatch area to be erect
• ESB Remediation (Enterprise Service Bus)
The purpose of the ESB Remediation project will be to
architect and build the deployment environments required
by Standard Bank to cater for the successful implementation
of ESB infrastructure requirements to meet the Platinum
class of service. The solution will be required to cater for the
following environments on AIX infrastructure:
• Development (DEV) Environment;
• Development2 (DEV2) Environment;
• System Integration Testing (SIT) Environment;
• Production Simulation (ProdSim) Environment;
• Production Environment;
• DR Environment.
1. Reconfigure ACE to provide Active-Active cluster in
production, DR and UAT;
2. Reconfigure Data Power devices into an Active-Active
configuration in production, DR and UAT;
3.
a. Rebuild Message Broker AIX hosts into a multi instance
configuration (provide a shared file system using GPFS);
b. Upgrade all AIX hosts from AIX 5.3 to AIX 6.1;
c. Migrate all AIX LPARs from P5 pSeries servers to pSeries
servers within support lifecycle;
d. Implement asynchronous storage level replication of AIX
hosts between production and DR to ensure hosts are in
synch with production, remove human intervention in
maintaining DR synchronisation;
e. Reconfigure message flow to remove the CISCO ACE from
inter-process/service communication, the ACE is to only
provide network level Load Balancing within the ESB;
f. Upgrade IBM Message Broker from version 6.1 to version
7.0
i. Implement IBM Message Broker multi instance
configuration to achieve high
availability;
ii. Upgrade IBM MQ from version 6.0 to version 7.0

10. iii. Implement IBM MQ Cluster to achieve required high
availability;
g. Complete an end-to-end Disaster Recovery test of the
newly deployed topology;
It will be necessary to conduct regression testing when the
above changes are made, given the number of consumer and
provider services to the ESB, regression testing is an
intensive piece of work it is preferable to keep the number
of sets of regression tests to a minimum.
• TPA (Transaction Process Architecture)
The SBSA production environment is, today, a mix of SAP and
legacy applications accessing DB2 databases on the
mainframe. During the past few months it has become
apparent that the current architecture would be unable to
scale sufficiently to meet the volume and throughput
requirements for the medium (2012) and long term (2015).
SBSA commissioned a set of tests in the IBM Labs in
Montpellier to set various scenarios using IBM recommended
architecture with the mainframe and zBX. The results of the
test were favourable and a decision to
Implement the zBX within the bank has been taken.
Following on from the SAP benchmarking that was done in
Montpellier, the TPA programme are now looking to build a
SIT and Production Simulation environment using the
Mainframe.
Infrastructure Integration changes:
• Upgrade Broker software to version 7.
• Install 10Gb network from database through ESB
towards consumer (RDC)
• ACE on entry only (DataPower for ESB internal load
balancing)
• AIX operating system software upgrade to version
6.1.
