关于客户
CMG Computing Services has been serving small businesses in North Bay, Ontario since 1984. As a full service managed service provider (MSP), CMG operates as the remote IT department for their clients from an array of verticals including healthcare, manufacturing, finance, and automotive. While their clients may be very diverse, each face a common threat when it comes to data security: ransomware. CMG’s largest customer is an accounting firm that recently faced a ransomware attack during tax season. CMG had previously transitioned the firm from tape backup to the Datto SIRIS platform, ensuring fast, automated backups and quick recovery times.
挑战
Recently, CMG’s largest customer, an accounting firm, had a run in with ransomware during the worst possible time: tax season. Prior to the attack, CMG had moved the firm over from tape backup to the Datto SIRIS, a total data protection platform designed to deliver fast, automated backups and quick recovery times. Chris Guertin, owner of CMG, described a seamless transition over to the SIRIS and was able to back up all eight servers. As it turned out, Guertin had done so in the nick of time. When an employee clicked a link on a social media platform, suspicious activity began to occur, as users were being locked out of files. The ransomware virus did not trigger the firewall in place and the virus began encrypting all shared files on the accounting firm’s servers.
解决方案
Guertin was onsite within thirty minutes of the call. He quickly located the workstation that was the source of the attack and shut it down. Using the SIRIS, he then began to restore data locally to the file server that was attacked via the infected workstation. Through Datto’s Advanced Storage technology, the SIRIS automatically takes hourly snapshots of the data, which meant that Guertin was able to bring the systems back to the state they were in forty minutes prior to the attacks. Had the firm still been relying on tape backup, Guertin estimates his client would have lost half a day’s work (through data loss) because the most recent backup would have taken place a day prior. In total, it took about eight hours to restore all of data due to the sheer volume that had been infected, and none of their most recent work had been lost thanks to the frequent backups. In the end, the customer was pleased with the seamless restore and the lack of data loss.

Case Study
Integral Plant Maintenance
Mercedes-Benz and his partner GAZ chose Siemens to be its maintenance partner at a new engine plant in Yaroslavl, Russia. The new plant offers a capacity to manufacture diesel engines for the Russian market, for locally produced Sprinter Classic. In addition to engines for the local market, the Yaroslavl plant will also produce spare parts. Mercedes-Benz Russia and his partner needed a service partner in order to ensure the operation of these lines in a maintenance partnership arrangement. The challenges included coordinating the entire maintenance management operation, in particular inspections, corrective and predictive maintenance activities, and the optimizing spare parts management. Siemens developed a customized maintenance solution that includes all electronic and mechanical maintenance activities (Integral Plant Maintenance).
Case Study
Hospital Inventory Management
The hospital supply chain team is responsible for ensuring that the right medical supplies are readily available to clinicians when and where needed, and to do so in the most efficient manner possible. However, many of the systems and processes in use at the cancer center for supply chain management were not best suited to support these goals. Barcoding technology, a commonly used method for inventory management of medical supplies, is labor intensive, time consuming, does not provide real-time visibility into inventory levels and can be prone to error. Consequently, the lack of accurate and real-time visibility into inventory levels across multiple supply rooms in multiple hospital facilities creates additional inefficiency in the system causing over-ordering, hoarding, and wasted supplies. Other sources of waste and cost were also identified as candidates for improvement. Existing systems and processes did not provide adequate security for high-cost inventory within the hospital, which was another driver of cost. A lack of visibility into expiration dates for supplies resulted in supplies being wasted due to past expiry dates. Storage of supplies was also a key consideration given the location of the cancer center’s facilities in a dense urban setting, where space is always at a premium. In order to address the challenges outlined above, the hospital sought a solution that would provide real-time inventory information with high levels of accuracy, reduce the level of manual effort required and enable data driven decision making to ensure that the right supplies were readily available to clinicians in the right location at the right time.
