Our approach to networking is to follow “secure by design” concepts and focus on networking as a function of security. Networks designed with segmentation are a specialty keeping management, traffic, test, and storage traffic properly separated. As the industry moves towards more purely virtualized networking our staff stays vigilant at being proficient in the latest virtualized platforms from Vmware, Cisco, Fortinet and others.
Problem: A university was using a public IP scheme for all internal machines based on a pre-NAT (network address translation) design. This was a common practice when the world thought we would never use 4.2 billion IPs in the ipv4 address space. Now the space is limited and it is an incredible waste of a precious resource.
Solution: DoIT Information Technology provided its services to re-IP all internal servers and infrastructure including a VMware Horizon View environment. The successful migration away from public IPs lowered ISP costs and provided more intuitive internal address schemes that eased management concerns and responsibility.
