Collabera Projects:
Nighthawk
Problem: Current imaging system was too slow and unreliable. Each image took approximately 90minutes per laptop. Goal: Find a better and faster alternative to deploy laptops at a faster rate. Solution: Founded a software called Macrium Reflect, a disk clone software that utilizes ThunderBolt 3 or 4 to image drives. The idea behind is, create local images on a Lenovo Carbon that has Thunderbolt capabilities and store the file on the laptop’s local drive. Restore the drive when the time comes by cloning a connected drive via an M.2. Enclosure or SATA Cable to USB C to formate a drive. Each drive ranges from 3 minutes to 10 minutes to image (depends on what drives you are writing to). This saves us approximately 1 hour per laptop on the onboarding process of a new hire. After successful teaching and learning amongst all peers, I have called the project and Laptop - Nighthawk.
