New Delhi, India - May 20, 2014
ManpowerGroup, the world leader in innovative workforce solutions, has deployed two of WatchGuard's
XTM 1050 appliances in high availability (HA) mode. With WatchGuard's
XTM 1050 appliance in HA mode, ManpowerGroup is able to centralize
internet connectivity and its management.
ManpowerGroup
required an uninterrupted connectivity across all the branches located
at multiple locations. With more than 500+ employees in India spread
across 13 locations, the critical challenge was to provide centralized
connectivity and management from their headquarter at Gurgaon (Haryana).
The bigger challenge for ManpowerGroup was to monitor employee internet
usage at the branches so that bandwidth gets used only for business
purposes. ManpowerGroup wanted to set up their IT security policy and
ensure that it was uniformly administered across branches, which set in
motion a search for the right firewall.
ManpowerGroup
chose WatchGuard's XTM 1050 in HA mode at Gurgaon in order to
centralize internet connectivity and its management. With the
installation of XTM 1050 appliances in HA mode, internet connectivity
with the branches was established through MPLS. Bandwidth delivery from a
central location led to its consolidation, resulting in 30% - 40%
savings. Centralized administration ensured uniformity in application of
security policies across branches. Application access improved
appreciably after the XTM 1050 boxes were installed. A firewall
throughput of 10 Gbps and VPN throughput of 2 Gbps made application
access seamless. The GAV (Gateway Anti-Virus), IPS and application
blocking features, which form a part of WatchGuard's UTM offering,
ensure that ManpowerGroup is continuously protected from various
threats. Patches, updates, and new policies could be deployed from the
central location. Centralized management ensured that all IT activities
of employees across branches could be monitored at the click of a button
and made firewall administration across multiple clients easy.
Srikanth Rengarajan, Executive Director and President, at ManpowerGroup India said "With
WatchGuard we could achieve connectivity and centralized management of
all branches. There was a steady improvement in the application access.
Firewall administration across multiple clients and uniform
implementation of IT security policies across all branches were made
easy. The resultant savings in bandwidth costs and the ability to get
employees to focus on business were icing on the cake."
Mohit Puri, Country Manager - India / SAARC at WatchGuard said, "ManpowerGroup's
biggest concern was the centralized connectivity and its management. We
would like to thank ManpowerGroup for the confidence that they had in
our technical and support team. Our XTM 1050 in HA mode has helped them
to address their problems wherein they have uninterrupted connectivity
across multiple locations."
