Max New York Life Insurance : Data Center Upgradation

At Max New York Life Insurance (MNYLI), an infrastructural evaluation done on

various parameters like network security, etc it came out that the datacenter

had several inefficiencies like presence of single point of failure,

unauthorized access to data, etc. Due to growing business data and requirements

and aiming at delivering cost effective and efficient managed data services for

the next 5 years, redesigning of the datacenters was decided.

A 3 Tier Architecture design for the datacenter was deployed which encompasses

access layer, protection layer and core layer. Network connectivity has been

secured by using IPS & Firewall for corporate users, business partners and

Internet users. To prevent any unauthorized access or threat to the network from

outside, a state of the art CheckPoint Firewall system which has features like

HIDS, IPS, IDS has been deployed.

This project delivered a more secure infrastructure with scalability and

redundancy for the organization. It also provided no single point of failure in

the infrastructure and reduced administrative and management overheads. It

delivered compliance requirements with respect to information security policies,

reduced the time of recovery for business applications and ensured authorized

access. Security architecture implemented resulted in savings of power, space

and cooling requirements.
