挑战
One of the largest and fastest-growing players in the Software as a Service (SaaS) industry needed to deploy two new data centers in two countries to support customer and geographic growth plans. They were facing rapid growth and increasing east/west data center traffic. They needed a solution that would protect customer data and scale into the future – a requirement that would be hard to meet with network segmentation and expensive with high-capacity data center firewalls in every rack. They were also looking for a way to more cost effectively segment while maintaining their agile software development culture. From the drawing board to deployment, the company needed to roll out and secure the new data centers in less than six months with live customer data while meeting stringent internal and regional security and compliance requirements.
关于客户
The customer is one of the largest and fastest-growing players in the Software as a Service (SaaS) industry. The SaaS industry is one of the fastest growing areas in the technology industry and by its very nature is an omnivorous consumer of computing capacity and capabilities. The customer needed to deploy two new data centers in two countries in support of customer and geographic growth plans. They were facing rapid growth and increasing east/west data center traffic. They needed a solution that would protect customer data and scale into the future.
解决方案
The Illumio Adaptive Security Platform (ASP) was selected and deployed to protect 9,000 workloads across the two new data centers in two countries to meet deadlines and security requirements. The solution was aggressively tested and rolled out by the customer’s cross-functional team with key stakeholders from the application development, infrastructure, and security teams all working in concert. Unlike other available data center firewall, network segmentation, or micro-segmentation solutions, Illumio adaptive segmentation capabilities provided scalable and flexible segmentation between individual customer environments, a single segmentation solution for bare-metal, virtualized, on-premises, and cloud workloads, application segmentation with fine-grained control between application tiers, segmentation between and within production and development environments, and regionally specific segmentation policy to meet local regulations.

Darwin Ecosystem: Accelerating discovery and insight through cutting-edge big data and cognitive technologies
Darwin Ecosystem was founded with a unique vision of harnessing chaos theory mathematics to uncover previously hidden connections in unstructured data. The company’s algorithms can look at all the data generated by any source (such as news, RSS feeds and Twitter), and analyze how a specific set of concepts within that data are evolving over time. This is particularly valuable in situations such as business and competitive intelligence, social research, brand monitoring, legal discovery, risk mitigation and even law enforcement. A common problem in these areas is that a regular web search will only turn up the all-time most popular answers to a given question – but what the expert researcher is actually interested in is the moment-tomoment evolution of the data available on that topic. Darwin’s algorithm is computationally intensive, and the sources of data it correlates can be vast. To bring its benefits to a larger commercial audience, Darwin needed to find a way to make it scale.

Delivering modern data protection with cloud scale backup from Cobalt Iron and IBM
Organizations are struggling to modernize their legacy data protection environments in the face of growing demands around new infrastructure, new applications, and budget consolidation. Virtualization and modern application development processes have significantly outgrown legacy backup architectures. In response, infrastructure teams have created multiple backup solution types to handle the varying SLAs (performance, scale, cost) required by their business sponsors. However, the sheer number and variety of solutions in this uncontrolled expansion creates huge amounts of work, threatening to overwhelm the IT team in many organizations. Today, developers may add new applications and virtual server instances by the hundreds per day without accounting for the restrictions of the existing backup infrastructure. They leverage the cloud for immediate compute and storage resources, yet rarely communicate succinctly with corporate IT to ensure that the appropriate data protection services are in place.
