A regional energy company improved business agility using cloud based technology.
• A regional energy company sought to increase business agility by migrating to cloud-based technology, which required moving the public-facing website and deploying SAP HANA on the back end all within the cloud environment
• Because the customer is regulated by the U.S. energy industry standard NERC (North American Reliability Corporation), Lightstream engineers had to complete the NERC certification to deliver a regulatory -compliant solution to the customer
• Customer purchased Palo Alto VM-Series Firewalls and Palo Alto Panorama Management Console (security concerns)
• They engaged Lightstream to architect the cloud network, deploy the security controls in AWS, and integrate the entire solution
• Our team designed a secure ingress transit VPC architecture to support the deployment and connect multiple geographically dispersed VPCs and remote networks effectively—a global-network transit routing gateway
• Lightstream used AWS VPC Endpoint Services (PrivateLink) to connect the remote VPCs, Identity and Access Management SSO to restrict staff access based on roles, and AWS CloudFormation templates for provisioning
• A more agile, flexible, and scalable infrastructure to support its business
• The website will require less hands-on time from IT staff to host and manage
