About The Customer
MetaX is committed to providing full-stack GPU chips and solutions for heterogeneous computing. The company was founded in Shanghai in September 2020 and has established wholly-owned subsidiaries and R&D centers in Beijing, Nanjing, Chengdu, Hangzhou, Shenzhen and Wuhan. They were looking for a more structural way to manage IP space, DHCP and DNS on one platform in order to prevent error-prone network service configuration and improve team working efficiency.
The Challenge
MetaX was looking for a more structural way to manage IP space, DHCP and DNS on one platform to prevent error-prone network service configuration and improve team working efficiency. They were using Microsoft DNS, managed by Active Directory, which had certain limitations making it incapable of adequately supporting the rapidly-growing business requirements. The IT team was aiming to improve IT performance as well as security. It was clear the whole IT infrastructure needed to be redesigned taking into consideration business requirements. Having a high-availability, integrated DDI (DNS-DHCP-IPAM) solution was mandatory to make this happen.
The Solution
After evaluating solutions including those from local vendors, the decision was made to take EfficientIP’s SOLIDserverTM DDI, which offered the rich features required by MetaX. Key features included the dynamic integrated DNS/DHCP/IP Address management solution, and SmartArchitecture templates for simplified, fast implementation. The resulting stable DDI platform enabled the MS AD structure to be easily changed, as well as the email environment. EfficientIP’s DNS GSLB (Global Server Load Balancing) product was also leveraged, to enhance application availability via load balancing of application traffic and health checking functionalities.

Leveraging the IoT to Gain a Competitive Edge in International Competition
Many large manufacturers in and outside Japan are competing for larger market share in the same space, expecting a growing demand for projectors in the areas of entertainment, which requires glamor and strong visual performance as well as digital signage that can attract people’s attention. “It is becoming more and more difficult to differentiate ourselves with stand-alone hardware products,” says Kazuyuki Kitagawa, Director of Service & Support at Panasonic AVC Networks. “In order for Panasonic to grow market share and overall business, it is essential for us to develop solutions that deliver significant added value.” Panasonic believes projection failure and quality deterioration should never happen. This is what and has driven them to make their projectors IoT-enabled. More specifically, Panasonic has developed a system that collects data from projectors, visualizes detailed operational statuses, and predicts issues and address them before failure occurs. Their projectors are embedded with a variety of sensors that measure power supply, voltage, video input/ output signals, intake/exhaust air temperatures, cooling fan operations, and light bulb operating time. These sensors have been used to make the projector more intelligent, automatically suspending operation when the temperature rises excessively, and automatically switching light bulbs. Although this was a great first step, Panasonic projectors were still not equipped with any capability to send the data over a network.
