挑战
自 20 世纪 90 年代以来，伊莱克斯经历了显着的增长和收购，导致了漫长的重组过程。对于IT组织来说，这意味着整合基础设施，将资源集中到几个数据中心，并强调这些数据中心、业务办公室和生产工厂之间的连接。与本地站点的其余服务器场的连接同样重要。伊莱克斯在欧洲拥有大约 600 台 UNIX 和 Windows 服务器以及大约 70 个 AS/400 系统以及一台大型机。随着时间的推移，特别是在收购之后，由于不同信息系统的集成而出现了各种问题。必须建立 VPN 来连接不同的设备和操作环境，同时保持其远程管理的能力。 2005年，伊莱克斯加快了优化其基础设施的进程，并解决了管理如此广泛的分布式系统的问题。
关于客户
伊莱克斯集团是厨房电器、家居清洁解决方案和园艺设备行业的国际市场领先者。该公司以其处于行业技术和创新进步的前沿而感到自豪。每年，来自 150 多个国家的消费者从伊莱克斯购买超过 5500 万件产品。其家用和专业应用领域的知名品牌包括 AEG、伊莱克斯、Eureka、Frigidaire、Husqvama 和 Zanussi。 2006 年，伊莱克斯销售额达 1,040 亿瑞典克朗（159 亿美元），拥有 59,500 名员工。
解决方案
伊莱克斯自 1995 年以来一直使用 Check Point 解决方案来保护其互联网访问网关和不同业务部门之间的通信。伊莱克斯采用 Check Point VPN-1 Power 和 VPN-1 SecureClient 来保护点对点链路并启用基于 IPSec 的远程访问。同时，通过SmartCenter建立了集中式远程管理，主要用于管理欧洲层面的防火墙，从而能够在整个欧洲大陆维护统一、同质的策略。在伊莱克斯多元化的运营环境中，VPN-1 Power 的平台中立性显得尤为重要。 Check Point 解决方案的灵活性使 IT 组织能够处理广泛的场景。

Hydro One Leads the Way In Smart Meter Development
In 2010, Ontario’s energy board mandated that time-of-use (TOU) pricing for consumers be available for all consumers on a regulated price plan. To meet this requirement, Hydro One needed to quickly deploy a smart meter and intelligent communications network solution to meet the provincial government’s requirement at a low cost. The network needed to cover Hydro One’s expansive service territory, which has a land mass twice the size of Texas, and its customers live in a mix of urban, rural, and remote areas, some places only accessible by air, rail, boat or snowmobile. Most importantly, the network needed to enable future enterprise-wide business efficiencies, modernization of distribution infrastructure and enhanced customer service. To meet these needs, Hydro One conceptualized an end-to-end solution leveraging open standards and Internet Protocols (IP) at all communication levels. The utility drew upon industry leaders like Trilliant to realize this vision.

SAS® Analytics for IoT: Smart Grid
Companies face falling revenues, rising infrastructure costs, and increasing risk of outages caused by inconsistent energy production from renewable sources. Less money is coming in as more people and organizations take steps to curb their energy use. Utilities are paying more to maintain and build infrastructure due to increasing complexity, resulting from the rising number of intermittent and variable renewable energy sources connected in the distribution grid.

Enel Secures Italian Power Generation Network
Electric energy operators around the world are working to increase the reliability and cyber resiliency of their systems. This includes Enel, a global power company that manages and monitors the Italian power grid. This grid:• Serves 31 million customers• Has a net installed energy capacity exceeding 31 gigawatts• Includes more than 500 power generation plants,including hydroelectric, thermoelectric, and wind• Is managed and monitored by Enel 24/7/365• Is operated by Terna, the Italian Transmission System Operator (TSO)Enel is responsible for the availability of the grid’s underlying ICS and industrial network. It also manages Regional Control Centers and Interconnection Centers which connect with the TSO. The TSO manages the flow of energy to the grid plus controls and remotely regulates the power generation of power plants, increasing and decreasing power production as required. The complex system of interaction and cooperation between Enel and the TSO has strong security implications as well as operational and business challenges.

IoT based Energy Quality Availability Monitoring Solution
There were several challenges faced:Since this data would be in the public domain, accuracy and authenticity of this data were of paramount importance. It should be able to withstand scrutiny.It is challenging to build an appliance that can withstand a wide range of voltage fluctuations from as low at 90v to as high as 320v. Since the device would be installed in remote locations, its resilience was of paramount importance.The device would have to deal with poor network coverage and have the ability to store and re-transmit data if networks were not available, which is often the case in rural India. The device could store up to 30 days of data.The platform that deals with the data should be readily available and highly reliable and never lose a packet of data.
