Customer Business Challenge

A publically traded U.S. financial services institution based in the Midwest recently came to FishNet Security with two problems. First, the company needed to achieve redundancy for its data centers so that in case of a catastrophic event, business would not be disrupted and customers at its 136 locations around the country would still be served. The company also needed to improve the availability and performance of all business applications running in its two data centers. The Cisco Content Services Switch that was in place was reaching the end of its support contract, and the customer was looking for a more robust solution.

In addition, the customer required that FishNet Security find one single vendor to solve the two challenges.
