iTek go multi-national!

Although iTek have been supporting the IT systems for Tech Soft 3D (EMEA) here in the UK for some time now we have been asked to help plan and implement a brand new multi-national network infrastructure.

This will involve migrating the Tech Soft 3D USA offices away from their current Linux infrastructure towards a Microsoft Server 2008 and Microsoft Exchange 2010 infrastructure for the company that will span and link their 5 geographical locations; Berkeley (CA USA), Bend (OR USA), Staveley (UK), Lyon (France) and Tokyo (Japan).

We are currently working closely with the IT Manager over in Berkeley and the UK team based here in Staveley to make this happen and have a full ‘go live’ date of 16th January 2011.
