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.
