挑战
该金融服务提供商将 Microsoft Azure 确定为其组织云服务平台。该项目是 IT 的一项重要任务,涉及将业务服务和应用程序从三个地理区域的众多数据中心迁移到 Azure 云服务。IT 领导团队希望增强此解决方案的安全性,因此他们使用了 Microsoft Azure ExpressRoute,它使用私有连接将公司的本地网络段扩展到 Azure 云服务。当 IT 团队努力建立高带宽路由器以支持将大规模、业务关键型工作负载迁移到 Azure ExpressRoute 的安全网络连接时,他们开始发现该公司的一个数据中心出现性能问题。
关于客户
该客户是金融服务领域的全球领导者,在美洲、欧洲和亚太地区业务领域占有重要地位。该公司成功应对了与疫情相关的金融服务交付挑战,在最近一个财年实现了两位数的利润。多年来,该公司的信息技术 (IT) 团队一直依靠 NETSCOUT 解决方案来提高其下一代数据中心基础设施和网络环境的可视性并确保其性能。
解决方案
该公司的 IT 部门通过部署 InfiniStreamNG (ISNG) 技术被动监控这一新环境,在本地路由器分界点以及数据中心边缘检测这些 NETSCOUT 智能数据源以查看进出数据中心的“南北”流量,从而获得了确保与 Azure ExpressRoute 网络连接所需的可见性。在他们签约的 NETSCOUT 高级支持服务工程师协助 IT 团队工作的情况下,实时 nGeniusONE 服务仪表板视图经过定制,为公司的数据中心和 Azure ExpressRoute 网络连接环境提供了单一窗格快照,可快速显示与公司 TCP/IP 网络中的传输控制协议 (TCP) 相关的高故障率、重传和超时。

Real-time In-vehicle Monitoring
The telematic solution provides this vital premium-adjusting information. The solution also helps detect and deter vehicle or trailer theft – as soon as a theft occurs, monitoring personnel can alert the appropriate authorities, providing an exact location.“With more and more insurance companies and major fleet operators interested in monitoring driver behaviour on the grounds of road safety, efficient logistics and costs, the market for this type of device and associated e-business services is growing rapidly within Italy and the rest of Europe,” says Franco.“The insurance companies are especially interested in the pay-per-use and pay-as-you-drive applications while other organisations employ the technology for road user charging.”“One million vehicles in Italy currently carry such devices and forecasts indicate that the European market will increase tenfold by 2014.However, for our technology to work effectively, we needed a highly reliable wireless data network to carry the information between the vehicles and monitoring stations.”

Safety First with Folksam
The competitiveness of the car insurance market is driving UBI growth as a means for insurance companies to differentiate their customer propositions as well as improving operational efficiency. An insurance model - usage-based insurance ("UBI") - offers possibilities for insurers to do more efficient market segmentation and accurate risk assessment and pricing. Insurers require an IoT solution for the purpose of data collection and performance analysis

Smooth Transition to Energy Savings
The building was equipped with four end-of-life Trane water cooled chillers, located in the basement. Johnson Controls installed four York water cooled centrifugal chillers with unit mounted variable speed drives and a total installed cooling capacity of 6,8 MW. Each chiller has a capacity of 1,6 MW (variable to 1.9MW depending upon condenser water temperatures). Johnson Controls needed to design the equipment in such way that it would fit the dimensional constraints of the existing plant area and plant access route but also the specific performance requirements of the client. Morgan Stanley required the chiller plant to match the building load profile, turn down to match the low load requirement when needed and provide an improvement in the Energy Efficiency Ratio across the entire operating range. Other requirements were a reduction in the chiller noise level to improve the working environment in the plant room and a wide operating envelope coupled with intelligent controls to allow possible variation in both flow rate and temperature. The latter was needed to leverage increased capacity from a reduced number of machines during the different installation phases and allow future enhancement to a variable primary flow system.

Automated Pallet Labeling Solution for SPR Packaging
SPR Packaging, an American supplier of packaging solutions, was in search of an automated pallet labeling solution that could meet their immediate and future needs. They aimed to equip their lines with automatic printer applicators, but also required a solution that could interface with their accounting software. The challenge was to find a system that could read a 2D code on pallets at the stretch wrapper, track the pallet, and flag any pallets with unread barcodes for inspection. The pallets could be single or double stacked, and the system needed to be able to differentiate between the two. SPR Packaging sought a system integrator with extensive experience in advanced printing and tracking solutions to provide a complete traceability system.

Transforming insurance pricing while improving driver safety
The Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing the car insurance industry on a scale not seen since the introduction of the car itself. For decades, premiums have been calculated using proxy-based risk assessment models and historical data. Today, a growing number of innovative companies such as Quebec-based Industrielle Alliance are moving to usage-based insurance (UBI) models, driven by the advancement of telematics technologies and smart tracking devices.

MasterCard Improves Customer Experience Through Self-Service Data Prep
Derek Madison, Leader of Business Financial Support at MasterCard, oversees the validation of transactions and cash between two systems, whether they’re MasterCard owned or not. He was charged with identifying new ways to increase efficiency and improve MasterCard processes. At the outset, the 13-person team had to manually reconcile system interfaces using reports that resided on the company’s mainframe. Their first order of business each day was to print 20-30 individual, multi-page reports. Using a ruler to keep their place within each report, they would then hand-key the relevant data, line by line, into Excel for validation. “We’re talking about a task that took 40-80 hours each week,” recalls Madison, “As a growing company with rapidly expanding product offerings, we had to find a better way to prepare this data for analysis.”
