挑战
这家金融服务公司选择了 nGeniusONE 服务保证平台和 InfiniStream 设备来解决影响其分布式联系中心统一通信服务的质量和性能问题。在 IT 团队实施该设备时,他们遇到了一些问题,即第三方供应商的数据包代理将网络流量转发到 InfiniStream 设备。由于产品效率低下、客户支持不佳以及设备供应商的知识不足,试图解决与数据包重复数据删除相关的问题几乎是不可能的。IT 员工意识到 NETSCOUT® 提供了广泛的数据包流交换机解决方案,因此加快了技术更新的进度,以满足他们的可视性需求。
关于客户
这家美国金融服务公司专注于提供广泛的车辆租赁和融资选择、付款保护和保险产品。该公司拥有多个地区办事处、客户服务中心以及销售和服务分支机构的 3,000 多名员工,每天致力于为数以万计的客户提供支持。该公司管理的资产超过 1000 亿美元,其企业网络对于支持全美客户销售和服务至关重要
解决方案
为了升级和增强其网络流量可视性以满足其在联络中心的服务保证需求,该金融服务公司选择了基于软件的 nGenius 数据包流系统 (PFS),该系统由 nGenius 5010 系列数据包流交换机与 Packet Flow eXtender (PFX) 软件组合而成。出于多种原因,这是优于现有实施的选择。nGenius PFS 解决方案在聚合、复制和负载平衡方面达到或超过了所有性能基准。它按照承诺执行了重复数据删除,从而提高了监控工具的准确性。它提供了独特的服务端口功能,该功能利用 SPAN 端口流量为 nGenius 数据包流交换机提供数据,并根据配置设计在正确的时间将正确的流量发送到正确的工具。对服务端口的更改仅适用于该监控工具;因此,语音、网络和安全领域的 IT 利益相关者能够轻松优化满足其需求所需的数据流。它使用 PFX 软件提供了 NetFlow 生成功能,从而减少了其 Cisco 路由器的工作负载。

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.”
