About The Customer
Since its launch in 1991, Charter Hall Group has grown to become one of Australia’s leading property groups, with a total managed property portfolio of $18.0 billion. The Group owns and manages 304 commercial properties around Australia, including office buildings, supermarket anchored retail centres and a rapidly growing stable of industrial assets, on behalf of institutional, wholesale and retail investors. They listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) in 2005.
The Challenge
Over more than 25 years, Charter Hall has grown to become one of Australia’s leading property groups, and listed on the Australian Securities Exchange in 2005. With a distributed workforce of approximately 50 locations, and a remote working model to manage, Platforms and Infrastructure Manager Josh Carter, was looking for a security solution to protect 200 Virtual Servers and over 500 endpoints. Their incumbent solution was disparate, with different protection on the server and endpoints, inefficient reporting abilities, no hypervisor protection and generally felt “outdated, inadequate and not suited to virtualization” and therefore increased their business risk.
The Solution
Josh and his team were looking for a solution to successfully implement across their entire environment, which would be compatible with their current VMWare hypervisor, and improve efficiency in resource management and reporting. They evaluated a few solutions, and did some further research on whether Bitdefender Gravity Zone was the right solution for Charter Hall. Josh commented that while “Gravity Zone probably wasn’t the most mature product on the market at the time, it was way more cost effective, had a great protection rate, and a high level of visibility and reporting. I was confident that it would do its job”. Charter Hall approached their trusted IT solution provider, Thomas Duryea Logicalis, and discussed deploying Bitdefender as their security solution.
