关于客户
Stanford University, founded in 1891, is one of the most respected research and academic institutions in the world. The university's Computer Graphics laboratory is designed for teaching and research. The infrastructure of the lab is maintained by active collaboration of the faculty, staff, and students. The laboratory is equipped with advanced technology and tools to facilitate research and teaching. The laboratory manager is responsible for maintaining the infrastructure and ensuring the smooth operation of the lab. In July 2004, the laboratory manager was tasked with investigating a rogue FTP server running within the stanford.edu domain that had produced very high traffic volumes to off-campus locations.
挑战
Stanford University's Computer Graphics laboratory was facing a significant challenge when they received a complaint about a rogue FTP server running within the stanford.edu domain. The machine had produced very high traffic volumes to off-campus locations, and the laboratory manager was asked to investigate. The data used in the analysis consisted of Cisco NetFlow records from a Stanford router. Network flows are highly granular; flow endpoints include a time-stamped summary of source, destination, protocol, and number of packets and bytes. Each source or destination consists of an IP address and a port. The primary challenge was to find and implement an analysis application that supported this type of investigation. The application needed to support Microsoft SQL Server, be able to quickly sift through millions of records of data, and be able to manipulate and display many dimensions of the data simultaneously.
解决方案
Stanford University selected Tableau Professional to address their challenge. Tableau Professional is a powerful data visualization tool that supports Microsoft SQL Server and is capable of quickly sifting through millions of records of data. It also allows for the manipulation and display of many dimensions of the data simultaneously. The visual analysis features of Tableau enabled Stanford to “see” this complex data from many perspectives and focus on the important relationships and key insights. Tableau’s advanced filtering functionality and its ability to quickly iterate through multiple ad hoc queries and displays made it uniquely suited for this investigation.

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.
