关于客户
Gas South 是一家领先的天然气供应商,为佐治亚州、佛罗里达州、北卡罗来纳州和南卡罗来纳州的 300,000 多个住宅、商业和政府客户提供服务。该公司提供简单且价格具有竞争力的费率计划、出色的本地客户服务,并承诺返还 5% 的利润来帮助有需要的儿童。自 2016 年以来,Gas South 被《亚特兰大宪法报》评为“亚特兰大最佳工作场所”之一。 2016年,该公司将之前外包的IT基础设施迁移到微软,选择Office 365作为新的电子邮件平台,创建自己的Active Directory域,并将服务器基础设施迁移到Azure。
挑战
Gas South 是一家领先的天然气供应商,在 2016 年将其 IT 基础设施迁移到 Microsoft Azure 时面临着重大挑战。该公司必须确保安全访问 Azure 中的关键任务应用程序,即使在数据中心发生故障的情况下也是如此停电。本地数据中心是用户和 Azure 托管应用程序之间的重要纽带,但如果由于风暴、灾难或断电而无法访问,则没有人可以访问云中的关键业务应用程序。由于附近许多建设项目的光纤中断,停电是一个经常出现的问题。此外,数据中心中断很常见,34% 的受访数据中心在过去一年中遭遇过中断或严重的服务降级,其中许多造成了严重的财务后果。
解决方案
为了应对这些挑战,Gas South 实施了 Azure Express Route,这是一种虚拟专用连接,可确保对其数据的机密访问以及增强可靠性和降低延迟。然而,他们仍然面临着传统云安全风险,需要安全补充。在尝试了 Microsoft 解决方案和 Azure 中的第三方设备(两者均不够)后,他们在 Check Point CloudGuard IaaS 中找到了正确的解决方案。 CloudGuard IaaS 为 Azure 环境提供先进的多层安全性,保护云中的资产免受攻击,同时在企业网络和公司的 Azure 部署之间提供安全连接。它提供完全集成的安全保护,包括防火墙、入侵防御系统 (IPS)、防病毒和反机器人防御,以防止未经授权的访问和恶意网络攻击。 IPSec VPN 刀片允许通过 Azure 虚拟网络 (vNET) 和企业网络之间的专用加密隧道进行安全连接。

Case Study
Taking Oil and Gas Exploration to the Next Level
DownUnder GeoSolutions (DUG) wanted to increase computing performance by 5 to 10 times to improve seismic processing. The solution must build on current architecture software investments without sacrificing existing software and scale computing without scaling IT infrastructure costs.
Case Study
Remote Wellhead Monitoring
Each wellhead was equipped with various sensors and meters that needed to be monitored and controlled from a central HMI, often miles away from the assets in the field. Redundant solar and wind generators were installed at each wellhead to support the electrical needs of the pumpstations, temperature meters, cameras, and cellular modules. In addition to asset management and remote control capabilities, data logging for remote surveillance and alarm notifications was a key demand from the customer. Terra Ferma’s solution needed to be power efficient, reliable, and capable of supporting high-bandwidth data-feeds. They needed a multi-link cellular connection to a central server that sustained reliable and redundant monitoring and control of flow meters, temperature sensors, power supply, and event-logging; including video and image files. This open-standard network needed to interface with the existing SCADA and proprietary network management software.

Refinery Saves Over $700,000 with Smart Wireless
One of the largest petroleum refineries in the world is equipped to refine various types of crude oil and manufacture various grades of fuel from motor gasoline to Aviation Turbine Fuel. Due to wear and tear, eight hydrogen valves in each refinery were leaking, and each cost $1800 per ton of hydrogen vented. The plant also had leakage on nearly 30 flare control hydrocarbon valves. The refinery wanted a continuous, online monitoring system that could catch leaks early, minimize hydrogen and hydrocarbon production losses, and improve safety for maintenance.
