HOPS is a recruitment agency specialising in agricultural seasonal workers, annually placing approximately 10,000 recruits on British farms for crop picking and processing.
HOPS required a reliable server to host essential business applications. This server was crucial for hosting the client portal, generating nightly management reports, and facilitating an authorisation API to the MS SQL server.
I managed the complete process of acquiring this server, beginning with supplier selection and hardware specifications, through to installation, and the development and testing of applications.
The server was equipped with two RAID arrays to ensure dependable data storage and was connected to a BT static IP service for internet connectivity.
