Challenges
- Effectively secure a new application that is fully virtualized in a micro-segmented environment
Our Contribution
A long-time partner of Teranet, ESI’s approach was a design based and architectural process to ensure the application installation was the right fit for the client.
ESI met on several instances with the Teranet team to get a better sense of the challenges that were being faced and assessing how best to accommodate them. ESI was granted access to the client’s IT storage and network to collect data to allow a thorough assessment.
This assessment determined that securing the virtual application was very important. When looking at the options for micro-segmentation (firewall around every single server) as the optimal solution, VMware NSX was the right way to go to answer Teranet’s needs.
This network virtualization platform is able to operate independently of the underlying physical topology. Entire networks are able to be spun up, moved, snapshot, or deleted with the same operational model of a VM.
