关于客户
Risk Management Solutions Inc. (RMS) 是为金融机构和公共机构提供灾难风险建模解决方案的领先企业。该公司的数据中心分布在伦敦、冰岛和多伦多等全球各地。RMS 的 IT 环境包括云实例、本地 Cisco UCS 和 EMC VMAX 存储，以及 Docker 和 HBase 等新兴技术。该公司之所以选择 Zenoss，是因为其混合 IT 环境支持、定制能力和扩展能力。
挑战
RMS 在全球各地设有多个数据中心。为了确保最高级别的可用性，必须找到一种足够灵活的监控解决方案来支持其现有系统，同时在其不断增长的基于云的基础设施中优化数据访问和分析操作。大多数客户都在本地部署 RMS 软件进行大数据分析，这需要这些客户进行大量的基础设施投资。为了使其庞大的北美和欧洲客户群能够通过在 RMS 基础设施上运行分析来降低成本，他们在伦敦、冰岛和多伦多建立了数据中心。每个数据中心都配备了大量思科统一计算系统 (UCS) 和 EMC VMAX 企业存储。RMS 还将自己的业务扩展到云端，并正在采用 Docker 和 Apache HBase 等现代软件。RMS 认识到，在混合 IT 环境中管理这些先进技术需要一个独特灵活且可扩展的监控平台。
解决方案
Zenoss 平台功能与 RMS 基础设施监控需求非常契合，包括对本地和云系统的支持。Zenoss 提供了一个高度可定制的平台，带有远程收集器，使 RMS 能够轻松扩展，同时实时高效地监控高度分区的网络，并将所有监控和事件数据带到一个共同的位置。Zenoss 实现的自动化消除了手动编辑配置文件的易错过程。RMS 还从 Zenoss 平台的易用性和其庞大的 ZenPacks 库中受益匪浅，以支持所有必需的系统。RMS 的另一个关键影响因素是 Zenoss 实施了 Docker 和 HBase 等先进技术，这些技术是达到所需规模水平所必需的。HBase 还将使 RMS 能够轻松地将其现有分析与 Zenoss 平台集成，以便通过数据提取和操作获得关键见解。

Case Study
Real-time In-vehicle Monitoring
The telematic solution provides this vital premium-adjusting information. The solution also helps detect and deter vehicle or trailer theft – as soon as a theft occurs, monitoring personnel can alert the appropriate authorities, providing an exact location.“With more and more insurance companies and major fleet operators interested in monitoring driver behaviour on the grounds of road safety, efficient logistics and costs, the market for this type of device and associated e-business services is growing rapidly within Italy and the rest of Europe,” says Franco.“The insurance companies are especially interested in the pay-per-use and pay-as-you-drive applications while other organisations employ the technology for road user charging.”“One million vehicles in Italy currently carry such devices and forecasts indicate that the European market will increase tenfold by 2014.However, for our technology to work effectively, we needed a highly reliable wireless data network to carry the information between the vehicles and monitoring stations.”

Safety First with Folksam
The competitiveness of the car insurance market is driving UBI growth as a means for insurance companies to differentiate their customer propositions as well as improving operational efficiency. An insurance model - usage-based insurance ("UBI") - offers possibilities for insurers to do more efficient market segmentation and accurate risk assessment and pricing. Insurers require an IoT solution for the purpose of data collection and performance analysis
Case Study
Smooth Transition to Energy Savings
The building was equipped with four end-of-life Trane water cooled chillers, located in the basement. Johnson Controls installed four York water cooled centrifugal chillers with unit mounted variable speed drives and a total installed cooling capacity of 6,8 MW. Each chiller has a capacity of 1,6 MW (variable to 1.9MW depending upon condenser water temperatures). Johnson Controls needed to design the equipment in such way that it would fit the dimensional constraints of the existing plant area and plant access route but also the specific performance requirements of the client. Morgan Stanley required the chiller plant to match the building load profile, turn down to match the low load requirement when needed and provide an improvement in the Energy Efficiency Ratio across the entire operating range. Other requirements were a reduction in the chiller noise level to improve the working environment in the plant room and a wide operating envelope coupled with intelligent controls to allow possible variation in both flow rate and temperature. The latter was needed to leverage increased capacity from a reduced number of machines during the different installation phases and allow future enhancement to a variable primary flow system.

Automated Pallet Labeling Solution for SPR Packaging
SPR Packaging, an American supplier of packaging solutions, was in search of an automated pallet labeling solution that could meet their immediate and future needs. They aimed to equip their lines with automatic printer applicators, but also required a solution that could interface with their accounting software. The challenge was to find a system that could read a 2D code on pallets at the stretch wrapper, track the pallet, and flag any pallets with unread barcodes for inspection. The pallets could be single or double stacked, and the system needed to be able to differentiate between the two. SPR Packaging sought a system integrator with extensive experience in advanced printing and tracking solutions to provide a complete traceability system.

Transforming insurance pricing while improving driver safety
The Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing the car insurance industry on a scale not seen since the introduction of the car itself. For decades, premiums have been calculated using proxy-based risk assessment models and historical data. Today, a growing number of innovative companies such as Quebec-based Industrielle Alliance are moving to usage-based insurance (UBI) models, driven by the advancement of telematics technologies and smart tracking devices.

Enhancing Security and Compliance in Remitly's Global Money Transfer Service with Fastly
Remitly, an online remittance service, was faced with the challenge of securing its proprietary global transfer network. The company needed a security solution that could meet PCI requirements and protect customers' sensitive transactions through its mobile application. The solution had to be capable of defending against new and emerging attack types without impacting performance. Remitly also had to deal with irregular traffic patterns, such as a sudden spike in account transfers from a small network segment on the Pacific coastline of South America. The company needed to determine in real time whether such traffic indicated an attack or valid requests. A traditional web application firewall (WAF) would not be able to distinguish this traffic, potentially leading to customer frustration if the IP was blacklisted.
