Design of the new DMZ in two external data centers
Requirements
The new DMZ network architecture to be established in the two data centers should meet the very high requirements for availability, scalability and investment protection today and in the future. The prerequisite here is that the already established components continue to be used and can be adapted granularly and efficiently to new tasks, such as maintaining and increasing security standards and performance. Central management, logging and reporting must be guaranteed. In addition, it should be possible to add to the new architecture without replacing existing components. This applies for a period of 5 years. Furthermore, the architecture in the two external data centers must be able to interact seamlessly with the resources from the office data center without neglecting security and availability.
Services & Solutions
- A rough and detailed concept of the DMZ to be implemented was created.
- Procurement and customizing of all components (hardware and software)
- Commissioning, configuration and testing
- Participation in the creation of the operating manual
- Controlware Care Services for 48 months (CCS Platinum in the PROD areas, CCS Bronze in the LAB areas)
Advantages & Benefits
- The solution developed includes products from leading manufacturers such as Cisco (Nexus, ASA, ISE), F5 (load balancer), Fortinet (firewall) and Check Point (firewall).
- The investment in a new infrastructure not only increased availability, but also ensured scalability as performance requirements increased.
- Likewise, the deployment of the firewalls met the continuously increasing security requirements. Threats can be identified, contained and eliminated more quickly and effectively.
- The foundation of the service concept is the Controlware Care Service (Platinum) to maintain and ensure the availability of the infrastructure in the company. The services include the service desk, expert hotline & remote diagnostics, hardware replacement and on-site service (24 x 7 service time).
- Controlware experts are the point of contact for the conceptual design of new architectures as well as for service requests and in the event of malfunctions.
