Optimized Management

An organization in the administrative sector was facing growing challenges in cybersecurity and network management.

The lack of segmentation between different network zones increased the risks to the infrastructure, particularly by enabling lateral movement in the event of an attack. This setup also made daily management complex and inefficient.

Prival proposed network segmentation with VLANs to secure east-west traffic. This method effectively isolated the network segments for users, physical servers, and virtual machines (VMs).

By isolating internal traffic between these entities, the solution significantly reduces the lateral attack surface, limits the risk of propagation in case of a breach, and simplifies the application of zone-specific security policies..

• Better visibility and increased control over internal traffic.
• A reduction in risks related to lateral movement.
• More precise management of firewall rules and inter-VLAN access.
• Overall improvement of network security posture.

The client is now working in a new modern and evolving environment, one of innovative technologies that responds to his new corporate vision.

The client is a leader in food distribution. Exploiting several branches in Quebec, this company has experienced very strong growth for the past five years. Since food is perishable, time management and efficiency are critical factors for its success. It had to choose innovative technologies to improve the liveliness of its activities. The company was looking for turnkey project management expertise that could complete the project in a timely manner.

The client is now working in a new modern and evolving environment, one of innovative technologies that responds to his new corporate vision.

Prival deployed several new Dell PowerEdge servers in a virtualized VMware Enterprise environment. The solution included a new Dell EqualLogic SAN, a tiered storage solution that combines SAS technologies. This storage solution has increased the throughput of the controllers. The SAN has been optimized to cost-effectively meet all requirements for applications, racking and energy efficiency. The company gets what it needs: the flexibility to acquire and release capabilities on demand while maintaining total control over the computing environment.

The customer is now working in a new environment that meets the current and future needs that he may encounter and the whole performance of his system has benefited.

Net App storage systems were more than 80 percent full and the network, as well as the communication speed, no longer met the requirements of current and future use of the enterprise. The firm was, therefore, looking for expertise in the choice of new technologies so they put their trust in Prival for this major project.

The customer is now working in a new environment that meets the current and future needs that he may encounter and the whole performance of his system has benefited.

For storage, Prival has implemented an EMC storage solution with VNX storage units.

Prival has implemented a solution of 10 Gps of the ICX series. This Brocade Series redefines the networking business economy by offering unprecedented levels of performance, availability and flexibility.

For the storage part, Prival has implemented a solution from the EMC manufacturer with VNX storage units. The EMC VNX Series offers unified storage with unmatched flexibility, simplicity, and efficiency. It is optimized for virtual applications.

The new system reduces the time and cost of customer management. It also allows BMR to easily extend its network.

BMR Group is an established business for over 45 years and is constantly evolving. Today, BMR is a group of independent dealers that operate 180 home renovation and hardware centers in Quebec, Ontario, in the Maritime Provinces and in the French island of Saint-Pierre & Miquelon. Retail sales for BMR members are estimated at over 1,3 billion dollars per year and some 5,000 employees that work in bannered stores. BMR is the second leading banner in Quebec’s renovation industry. With increasing online sales, BMR can not afford that their transactional site breaks down.

The new system reduces the time and cost of customer management. It also allows BMR to easily extend its network.

The transaction site already had a DELL unit. Prival has therefore chosen to deployed a unit of the same product family. The proposed solution is a shared disk (SAN) PS DRIVE 4100E with 12 disks 2 Terra 7.2K NL SAS DRIVE, for a total of 24TB. Dell 4100E PS storage solution provides a virtualized architecture, an enterprise software and easier management at an affordable price. It takes complete snapshots for replication and integration of applications to ensure data protection and recovery disaster.
