42-Station Infrastructure Redesign

A coast-to-coast logistics infrastructure redesign connecting architecture, business continuity, distributed operations, and enterprise scale.

Situation

AIT Worldwide Logistics required a more resilient production infrastructure foundation across a national logistics environment.

Risk

The existing server-room and distributed infrastructure posture needed to support mission-critical logistics operations, national connectivity, core domain services, and customer-facing platforms.

Action

Clint designed and physically built AIT's Y2K production data center, coordinated the move from server-room infrastructure into a resilient production environment, and led complete infrastructure redesign across 42 AIT Worldwide Logistics stations coast to coast, including LAN/WAN, redundancy/failover, domain services, email, and file/print services.

Outcome

AIT gained a stronger production infrastructure foundation for national logistics operations, customer-facing platforms, and core enterprise systems.

Scope

Production data center buildout, 42-station LAN/WAN redesign, redundancy/failover, domain services, email, file/print, AS/400 integration, SQL Server, extranet/intranet systems, BizTalk foundations, and logistics platforms.

Relevant where infrastructure decisions carry business consequences.

Multi-location infrastructure still fails when architecture, operations, and business process are treated separately instead of as one operating system.
