Global manufacturer of smart grid products required Oracle DBA managed services for 4 years as they went through challenges of quick growth and acquisition.

Aspire provided 24/7 support through the companies growth and post acquisition providing greater stability and resiliency for their users. This included complete lifecycle management including provisioning, monitoring, management, patching, tenant/administrative database user administration, and periodic service reviews.

A premier distributor of high-quality pumping products and systems was looking for a complete Managed Services solution for a reliable and secure network infrastructure. They needed proactive support for network operations as well as integration management for emerging technologies. The customer wanted to realign their complex IT infrastructure with verified business requirements. Their diverse IT assets included a Windows Active Directory environment, 80 virtual desktops, 24 virtual servers, and 15 terabytes of data, with 70 active users.

The service offering designed for the customer included three main parts: network security, infrastructure management, and endpoint management. Firewall configuration and Virtual Private Network (VPN) support were included in the proposal, taking advantage of the wealth of experience in our Security Division. As for infrastructure, our offering included 24/7 monitoring on all network devices, LAN/WAN support, and server and storage management. And we proposed endpoint management of PCs and mobile devices, as well as application support for related software.

Our client is undergoing a comprehensive infrastructure modernisation initiative to implement a cutting-edge security framework aligned with Zero Trust principles. By leveraging our expertise, the client is strategically aligning with the NIST Zero Trust maturity model, selecting top-tier products for seamless integration to fulfil the specific capability needs of each maturity model pillar. This strategic approach is poised to establish a state-of-the-art data centre and infrastructure fortified by robust zero-trust security protocols.

To address the needs of the users and device pillars, we strategically utilised key Microsoft technologies, including Microsoft Entra (Azure AD) for robust identity management and Microsoft InTune for efficient device management. Our approach also involved leveraging tools such as Gitlab, Microsoft Purview, and TrendMicro to enhance data and application management while ensuring top-notch security measures. Considering the client's substantial on-premises network infrastructure with a mix of cloud services, we integrated VMware NSX-T to implement effective east-west micro-segmentation. This decision enhances network security and optimizes overall network performance. Moreover, we meticulously configured a suite of cutting-edge tools to fulfil the Automation Orchestration pillar requirements, including Microsoft Sentinel, Ansible, Elastic, Gigamon, and Microsoft Defender. This comprehensive setup ensures seamless automation and orchestration and enhanced visibility and analytics across the network infrastructure.
