 Achievements This Period

 

  • Wiki application DEV Milestone move VM to metro stretched cluster complete.

  • Phase 2 - design of Wiki Database move to VM has commenced.

  • Closed Issues - 1) dependency on wiki COM039 - all planning has been completed and handover of DEV and TEST in progress.2) Network issue blocker in moving to LIVE - this has been closed as resource is not assigned and plan of action in progress.
