IT Contractor Introduction

An IT contractor by design, is a person who can enter a client's site and very quickly become the expert within that entity, It is a requirement that we become the most knowledgeable person within that particular infrastructure or our clients would benifit more by training up an FTE.

In the words of Albert Einstien:

When asked for his telephone number, he walked over to a telephone directory, and looked it up saying to a rather surprised onlooker " An intelligent man is not a man who can store information, but a man who knows how to find it".

With experience we IT Contractors understand better than anyone how technology and heterogeneous environments communicate, and knowing how to find information makes us experts in our chosen fields.

This allows us to be the greatest benifit to our clients. I hope you enjoy this site.

Virtual Servers is the term thats 'buzzzing' right now, Its been around for a while but until lately it was vendors like VMware who had pushed the hardest, but now one of the biggest technologies that Microsoft seems to be pushing lately is server virtualization. The main idea behind server virtualization is that a single physical machine can act as multiple, independent virtual machines. Each of these virtual machines has its own set of system resources, its own operating system, and its own applications. In this article, I will explain how you can create some virtual servers of your own.

How to use Visio 2003 to create an accurate diagram of your network. I will then show you how you can link MBSA 2.0 into that diagram. If you have ever worked with Microsoft’s Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA) version 2.0, then you probably know that although it has the capability of scanning multiple computers, it can be a bit tedious to go through all of the reports for a large network. Fortunately, you are no longer confined by the MBSA user interface. Instead, it is possible to link MBSA into a Microsoft Visio 2003 diagram, www.ITcontractors.org shows you how.
