Simplify Server Storage

SIMPLIFIED SERVER MANAGEMENT

  • A large U.S. organization operates hundreds of mission-critical servers across a number of locations. They wanted to streamline operations and free up senior IT engineers by simplifying server management and replacing a complex and cumbersome platform.

  • S-3 worked with the CIO and his team to review a deep product portfolio, develop and source specifications, provide demonstration and proof-of-concept equipment, implement the solution, and offer support and training. The chosen solution was HPE OneView, a powerful automation-enabled tool that assists in the simplification of complex server-management practices. HPE OneView utilizes REST API, which allows the organization's development team to extend the system using their scripting tools of choice to develop automation schemes. The new management platform has simplified operations, eliminated complex silos and increased productivity.

Advanced Technologies

advanced technology

  • In today's fast paced business world, the importance of keeping up with technology cannot be emphasized enough. Our client faced several challenges, including dwindling productivity, concerns about system reliability, and a growing threat of security breaches. Recognizing the urgent need for modernization, they sought a comprehensive solution to update their systems. They turned to S-3 for their expertise in navigating these technological hurdles.

  • S-3 proposed a strategic integration of advanced technologies. This included implementing HPE dHCI, Aruba Networking and Fortinet appliances, forming the basis of a comprehensive overhaul aimed at boosting performance, reliability and security.

    The results were tangible and impactful. The once-sluggish systems experienced a remarkable improvement in speed and uptime, significantly enhancing end-user productivity. Additionally, the incorporation of Fortinet appliances strengthened network security, effectively reducing vulnerabilities and fortifying against cyberthreats.

    With the burden of troubleshooting alleviated, the client's IT team could focus on proactive network management, leading to enhanced operational efficiency and more strategic planning.

    This collaboration highlights how strategic technology upgrades are beneficial. By embracing innovative solutions and partnering with skilled service providers like S-3, organizations can achieve notable improvements in productivity, reliability and security, solidifying their competitive edge in today's business landscape.

Local Government Cyber Security

CYBERATTACK MITIGATION

  • Corporations and federal agencies are not the only organizations vulnerable to cyberthreats. States, counties, cities and local agencies can also become targets. But a local government’s efforts to protect vital public services and sensitive citizen data can be hampered by budget challenges, aging infrastructure and a shortage of cybersecurity expertise.

    A large municipality wanted to reduce its risk of security breaches by adding safeguards to protect against breaches — as well as detect and mitigate breaches, should they occur. Knowing that it often takes months to detect a breach after it occurs, response time was vital.

  • S-3 worked with the city's IT team to develop a security strategy, followed by sourcing, installing and training staff on a solution to meet their needs. Central to that solution is 5thColumn's next-generation security-as-a-service offering. This automated detection and response system collects and ingests extensive info logs from the city's systems, applies AI and machine learning processes, and correlates what’s seen in the logs with all other customer's logs in a blind manner. This powerful process reduces the time it takes to recognize an issue by a whopping 850%, and immediately provides an actionable mitigation task list for the city's security team to follow.

    The city's new security service is delivered noninvasively and without complicated design, effectively extending the capabilities of their team and existing investments.
