Challenges
The government agency faced several challenges in managing its large data processing system and establishing network connections with external organizations for secure data transmission. One of the primary challenges was designing and implementing a robust infrastructure and architecture to support the data center networking requirements. This included addressing the complexities of IP networking, SAN networking, and load balancing to ensure optimal performance and reliability. Additionally, the agency needed a solution that could seamlessly integrate with SD-WAN technology to facilitate secure and efficient communication with external partners while maintaining data integrity and compliance with regulatory requirements.
Our Solution
Stream addressed these challenges by designing a comprehensive solution that encompassed both Data Center Networking and SD-WAN technology. For Data Center Networking, we implemented a robust infrastructure that included IP networking, SAN networking, and a load-balancing solution to distribute workloads between the agency’s two data centers. This ensured high availability, scalability, and performance for critical applications and services hosted within the data centers.
