A good portion of my career has included being the primary network administrator for a medium sized (at the time) biotech firm. We had the blessing of budget at times, so I was able to deploy some really cool systems. This is very high level overview. Over time I'll expand on these to really lay out what we were up to. That first one is summarized to what, two lines? It was a $1.25M project!
