Technical implementation of server system migration processes and Wi-Fi network construction to ensure a modern enterprise IT infrastructure

Abstract

The article describes the process of transferring the information environment of the server infrastructure to a new hardware and software platform with the simultaneous deployment of a wireless Wi-Fi network within the enterprise. Particular attention is paid to the technical aspects of data migration, in particular, the complications that arise when working with RAID arrays and virtual machines, which are used to ensure reliability, scalability and isolation of services. An analysis of typical problems related to data integrity, configuration preservation, equipment compatibility and ensuring continuous operation during service migration is presented. Effective approaches to optimizing the migration process are proposed, including preliminary testing of the environment, backup, and the use of hybrid infrastructure at the transition stage. As a technical implementation, a server based on the Windows Server 2022 operating system was built, which provides centralized management of network and file services. To organize wireless access to the local network, a MikroTik hAP ac² router was used together with UniFi access points manufactured by Ubiquiti, which ensured stable coverage, flexible management of client connections, and a high level of protection of transmitted data.
