关于客户
Cape Fear Community College, a world-class, public college based in North Carolina, has been educating students for more than 60 years on Health Sciences, STEM, Liberal Arts, Business & Information Technologies, and more. As a vocational college, many of their students work remotely but require access to the campus resources. The Business & Information Technology school, focusing on Cyber Crime Technology, has taken advantage of Domotz to monitor servers and virtual machines used by their professors and students to ensure continuity and fast response to system management needs. Greg Vandergriff, Program Director of the Cyber Crime Technology, and his team prepare students to enter the field of computer crime investigations and private security. These students learn how to investigate cyber-crimes, properly seize and recover computer-based evidence, and aid in the prosecution of cybercriminals. The course work branches across disciplines of criminal justice and computer information systems. Graduation from the Cyber Crime Technology program yields opportunities with state and local government criminal justice agencies.
挑战
A critical aspect of the Cyber Crime Technology (CCT) program is the ability for students to practice ethical hacking. In order to enable this in a safe environment, the Cape Fear Community College IT department gave the CCT program authority to create their own network with servers, virtual machines, and necessary equipment. The CCT team needed to create their own IT department to manage this network and the underlying infrastructure associated with it. As the team built out the network, they realized they needed a better way to manage and respond to issues regarding servers and virtual machines. Cape Fear Community College enables students through remote and distance learning. This added challenge for the CCT team means that they need to create and destroy “sandboxes” for their students and professors. These “sandboxes” are secure, safe environments for students and professors to play, educate, and discover real-world scenarios that graduates will encounter. These “sandboxes” are enabled through server farms and virtual machines enabled on the CCT IT network.
解决方案
The CCT team took advantage of Domotz’s Ubuntu Agent and placed it into their servers to monitor and manage the virtual machines spun up through Proxmox’s virtualization management solution. Domotz Agents are added based on system needs, looking across multiple Virtual LANs within the CCT IT infrastructure. Through Domotz Eyes, the Domotz agents look within the Proxmox VMs to see stats such as “time on,” “time used,” and “CPU performance.” Alerts are generated to the team when a server goes outside the normal expected behavior allowing the team to take immediate action. Given the nature of Cape Fear Community College and the fact that students often have full-time jobs, education and lab work often happens after standard working hours, continuing late into the night and/or early mornings. In a situation where a student or professor is working on a virtual machine and the system goes into a troubled state, the CCT team leverages Domotz to remotely access the system to restart the server. The key benefit here for the CCT team is they are able to fix issues quickly, remotely, and at any time without the need for going to the college campus.

IoT platform Enables Safety Solutions for U.S. School Districts
Designed to alert drivers when schoolchildren are present, especially in low-visibility conditions, school-zone flasher signals are typically updated manually at each school. The switching is based on the school calendar and manually changed when an unexpected early dismissal occurs, as in the case of a weather-event altering the normal schedule. The process to reprogram the flashers requires a significant effort by school district personnel to implement due to the large number of warning flashers installed across an entire school district.

Revolutionizing Medical Training in India: GSL Smart Lab and the LAP Mentor
The GSL SMART Lab, a collective effort of the GSL College of Medicine and the GSL College of Nursing and Health Science, was facing a challenge in providing superior training to healthcare professionals. As clinical medicine was becoming more focused on patient safety and quality of care, the need for medical simulation to bridge the educational gap between the classroom and the clinical environment was becoming increasingly apparent. Dr. Sandeep Ganni, the director of the GSL SMART Lab, envisioned a world-class surgical and medical training center where physicians and healthcare professionals could learn skills through simulation training. He was looking for different simulators for different specialties to provide both basic and advanced simulation training. For laparoscopic surgery, he was interested in a high fidelity simulator that could provide basic surgical and suturing skills training for international accreditation as well as specific hands-on training in complex laparoscopic procedures for practicing physicians in India.

Implementing Robotic Surgery Training Simulator for Enhanced Surgical Proficiency
Fundacio Puigvert, a leading European medical center specializing in Urology, Nephrology, and Andrology, faced a significant challenge in training its surgical residents. The institution recognized the need for a more standardized and comprehensive training curriculum, particularly in the area of robotic surgery. The challenge was underscored by two independent studies showing that less than 5% of residents in Italian and German residency programs could perform major or complex procedures by the end of their residency. The institution sought to establish a virtual reality simulation lab that would include endourological, laparoscopic, and robotic platforms. However, they needed a simulator that could replicate both the hardware and software of the robotic Da Vinci console used in the operating room, without being connected to the actual physical console. They also required a system that could provide both basic and advanced simulation training, and a metrics system to assess the proficiency of the trainees before they performed surgical procedures in the operating theater.

Edinburgh Napier University streamlines long-distance learning with Cisco WebEX
• Geographically dispersed campus made in-person meetings costly and inconvenient.• Distance-learning programs in Malaysia, India, and China required dependable, user-friendly online tools to maximize interaction in collaborative workspaces.• Virtual learning environment required a separate sign-in process, resulting in a significant administrative burden for IT staff and limited adoption of collaboration technology.

8x increased productivity with VKS
Before VKS, a teacher would spend a lot of time showing a group of 22 students how to build a set of stairs within a semester of 120 hours. Along with not leaving the teacher much time to provide one-on-one support for each student to properly learn carpentry, it also left a considerable amount of room for error. Key information would be misinterpreted or lost as the class was taught in the typical show-and-tell way.

Scalable IoT Empowering GreenFlex's Sustainable Growth
GreenFlex, a company that supports sustainable development, decarbonization, and energy efficiency, faced several challenges in its quest to expand its business. The company needed to deploy a robust and sustainable IoT technology to support its growth. It was crucial for them to monitor and control devices at customer sites in a safe and reliable manner. They also needed to integrate devices across a range of communication protocols and gather and act on data to meet efficiency targets. GreenFlex had previously built IoT capabilities into its digital platform, GreenFlexIQ, to monitor and manage customer sites remotely. However, they soon realized that they needed a new platform to support their ambitions. They needed a platform that could scale to connect more devices for production management and make it easier for the operations team to manage devices in the field.
