Summary of Qualifications Mr. Burgoyne is a client driven individual who prides himself on his knowledge of the many aspects of IT service delivery. His solutions have consistently demonstrated long term cost savings while improving the effectiveness and performance of his clients IT infrastructure. Whether a single person website, or a multi million dollar organization, he has consistently identified and implemented the correct solutions for his clients. He has acquired an extensive skill set during the past 17 years which has produced the following qualifications:
Security Clearance
Additional Certifications ITIL Foundations, March 2006 Professional Experience Industry Canada, Ottawa Ontario Contract Position (Architect, Strategis Web Services) January 2003 - current Mr. Burgoyne has spent the last three years designing and deploying high availability solutions for web-based services at Industry Canada as part of the Strategis Architectural Renewal project. He was a contributing member of the team that performed the initial gap analysis, options report, future roadmap and business case. He led the technical team that chose the hardware and networking platform, wrote the business requirements for the networking and hardware groups and developed the migration path and test plans for legacy systems and applications. His solution has resulted in approximately a 90% performance gain to the web server delivery speed and has resulted in 100% uptime to web traffic through three separate data centre failures. In this capacity, Mr. Burgoyne has been involved in projects to choose an entirely new hardware platform (IBM blade centers), helped define the requirements for the deployment of the high availability network switches (Nortel Alteon), facilitated the acquisition and deployment of a Storage Area Network (IBM FastT) and disk clustering software (IBM GPFS), as well as working on product selection and high availability migration paths for enterprise software solutions such as Apache, Verity, Oracle, LDAP and Websphere. A Total Cost of Ownership analysis has shown that the changes, once fully implemented, will result in savings of approximately 400,000 dollars per year due to lower maintenance contracts and a reduced requirement for overtime for common operation issues. Furthermore, the entire hardware purchases required to implement the solution were actually 40% lower than the equivalent replacement cost of the previous pedestal server implementation. Mr. Burgoyne is currently participating in a team that will spearhead the consolidation of a number of Industry Canada Websites into a common architecture. This project will involve the integration of multiple LDAP, Oracle, Websphere and Apache environments into one cohesive environment, and is expected to result in significant cost savings for Industry Canada.
