关于客户
Curalate 是一家位于宾夕法尼亚州费城的数字商务优化平台。该公司的使命是通过调整异地商务接触点和现场发现体验,为消费者打造视觉化、个性化和情境化的自适应商务体验。这一使命建立在网络对高性能、弹性可扩展性和一致正常运行时间的承诺之上。 Curalate 平台优化了 800 多个品牌的数字商务,提供帮助消费者发现下一次购买的工具。该公司在 AWS 上运行整个 IT 基础设施,包括软件开发和生产。
挑战
Curalate 是一个数字商务优化平台,其托管在 Amazon Web Services (AWS) 上的虚拟私有云 (VPC) 实例面临着挑战。该公司使用 OpenVPN(一种开源 VPN 产品)来提供对 VPC 中托管应用程序的访问。然而,这个系统有几个缺点。首先,要访问特定应用程序,最终用户必须知道哪个VPC托管该应用程序,这要求用户了解网络。其次,OpenVPN 存在性能、可用性和冗余方面的挑战。最后,缺乏基于策略的细粒度访问,并且策略管理很困难,因为每次应用程序访问策略更改时都需要更新每个 VPN 实例。尽管使用 AWS 基于最新云技术构建了基础设施,但 Curalate 的日常运营仍受到访问该基础设施所需的已有 20 年历史的传统 VPN 技术的影响。
解决方案
Curalate 通过 Zscaler Private Access (ZPA) 找到了应对这些挑战的解决方案。 ZPA 将应用程序从其所在的网络中抽象出来,无论用户是在公司办公室还是在路上,都可以实现无缝且相同的访问。最终用户不需要知道应用程序位于何处,也不必在不同位置之间进行选择。 ZPA 内置了冗余和高可用性,就像 AWS 一样。 ZPA 还提供特定于应用程序的访问,仅限制授权用户的访问,使应用程序本身对未经授权的用户完全不可见。这使得 VPC 内的横向移动变得不可能,因为访问特定于应用程序,而不是 IP 地址。 ZPA 也易于配置和部署,Curalate 从概念验证到生产部署仅用了三周时间。

IoT System for Tunnel Construction
The Zenitaka Corporation ('Zenitaka') has two major business areas: its architectural business focuses on structures such as government buildings, office buildings, and commercial facilities, while its civil engineering business is targeted at structures such as tunnels, bridges and dams. Within these areas, there presented two issues that have always persisted in regard to the construction of mountain tunnels. These issues are 'improving safety" and "reducing energy consumption". Mountain tunnels construction requires a massive amount of electricity. This is because there are many kinds of electrical equipment being used day and night, including construction machinery, construction lighting, and ventilating fan. Despite this, the amount of power consumption is generally not tightly managed. In many cases, the exact amount of power consumption is only ascertained when the bill from the power company becomes available. Sometimes, corporations install demand-monitoring equipment to help curb the maximum power demanded. However, even in these cases, the devices only allow the total volume of power consumption to be ascertained, or they may issue warnings to prevent the contracted volume of power from being exceeded. In order to tackle the issue of reducing power consumption, it was first necessary to obtain an accurate breakdown of how much power was being used in each particular area. In other words, we needed to be able to visualize the amount of power being consumed. Safety, was also not being managed very rigorously. Even now, tunnel construction sites often use a 'name label' system for managing entry into the work site. Specifically, red labels with white reverse sides that bear the workers' names on both sides are displayed at the tunnel work site entrance. The workers themselves then flip the name label to the appropriate side when entering or exiting from the work site to indicate whether or not they are working inside the tunnel at any given time. If a worker forgets to flip his or her name label when entering or exiting from the tunnel, management cannot be performed effectively. In order to tackle the challenges mentioned above, Zenitaka decided to build a system that could improve the safety of tunnel construction as well as reduce the amount of power consumed. In other words, this new system would facilitate a clear picture of which workers were working in each location at the mountain tunnel construction site, as well as which processes were being carried out at those respective locations at any given time. The system would maintain the safety of all workers while also carefully controlling the electrical equipment to reduce unnecessary power consumption. Having decided on the concept, our next concern was whether there existed any kind of robust hardware that would not break down at the construction work site, that could move freely in response to changes in the working environment, and that could accurately detect workers and vehicles using radio frequency identification (RFID). Given that this system would involve many components that were new to Zenitaka, we decided to enlist the cooperation of E.I.Sol Co., Ltd. ('E.I.Sol') as our joint development partner, as they had provided us with a highly practical proposal.
