Case of the Global B2B Collaboration Firm's Legacy Firewall Solution Deemed Impossible

Client Problem... This leading business-to-business electronic collaboration firm required a global infrastructure. However, it had a key constraint - keeping their legacy firewalls. ETG Solution...To prevent being “locked in” to one security solution, the ETG TEAM blueprinted and developed a design that allowed multiple firewalls to share the same Internet connection, while being virtually transparent to each other. Result...With this technology solution, this firm can now has the ability to migrate users to a different firewall technology with zero downtime and no interruption of service. This solution has helped this public B2B firm increase capacity, provided redundancy, and delivers more options in selecting future technologies. More importantly, ETG illustrated its innovative abilities in creating a functional design that successfully accomplished what many technology experts deemed difficult, if not impossible.

Case of 1 of the Major Exchanges Across the Globe

Case of a Wall St. Underwriter & Hedge Fund

Client Problem... A Wall St. underwriter and hedge fund required their disaster recovery document to be re-designed. Additionally, voice and data integration for trans-Atlantic video conferencing was required. These new systems had these needs -- development, implementation and inclusion in a business contingency plan, and have the final work approved by SIAC. ETG Solution...The ETG TEAM reviewed and re-designed the client's disaster recovery document. After coordinating the project, and selecting vendors, a combination of Lucent and Cisco equipment was deployed. Result... The implementation of both solutions was successful. The client had a fully functional trans-Atlantic video conference system and a disaster recovery document - both meeting compliance regulations. Furthermore, the client was able to focus on its core business, which the ETG TEAM coordinated all of the activity involving the project, including the various providers (to say nothing of the local loops). The entire infrastructure was in production within three months.
