New Update

The Amity Group is rapidly spreading its network of educational institutions

across the northern belt. But to provide uniform study material across all

locations and to make their network more secure, they were required to unify

their independent networks. This project has unified five Amity campuses,

encompassing 4500 desktops and 3000 laptops. The majority of the users are

students. Previously, with disparate networks, they faced security challenges

such as hacking, spam, viruses, etc. To tackle such challenges there was a need

for more secure networks and continuous monitoring for all Amity locations. The

configuration, implementation and maintenance of all independent networks for

each location were the other big challenges. After unification, they can now set

uniform IT policies for the Internet, app software and tutorial packages. The

project works on a hub and spoke model, where the Domain Server, Antivirus

Server and WSUS Patch Management Server of spoke locations are being managed by

the Central Hub remotely, as and when required. A single gateway access has been

set up for the external world for all locations, to enhance security.
