关于客户
XING is a social network for business professionals with approximately 14 million members worldwide, more than 6.7 million of whom are based in German-speaking countries. XING is a platform where professionals from a variety of industries can meet up, find jobs, colleagues, new assignments, cooperation partners and experts, and generate business ideas. The platform is operated by XING AG, which was founded in Hamburg, Germany, in 2003, has been publicly listed since 2006, and listed on the TecDAX since September 2011. XING has made several acquisitions to extend its position as the social recruiting market leader.
挑战
XING, a social network for business professionals, was facing a challenge with its existing privilege elevation process. The process was too time-consuming and did not allow for a consistent set of access rights. The company was seeking to improve command elevation from an administrative point of view, as well as establish better auditing features. Furthermore, XING needed to keep in mind a number of regulatory and compliance requirements related to German privacy and related laws. This includes protection of private data, Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), as well as other requirements for public companies.
解决方案
XING decided to deploy PowerBroker from BeyondTrust. All productive servers (500 physical and 450 virtual) have PowerBroker for Linux and Identity Server installed. As a result, XING has realized greater visibility and the controls necessary to increase its security posture. The PowerBroker Server has empowered XING to delegate root tasks and authorization on its Linux systems. Using PowerBroker as its enterprise privilege management solution has provided XING with audit-friendly logging and comprehensive reporting to help satisfy its internal and external compliance requirements. Using PowerBroker has been the perfect solution for reaching XING’s goals. The company has been able to manage a growing infrastructure that has more users, with the same amount of people and less effort.

Darwin Ecosystem: Accelerating discovery and insight through cutting-edge big data and cognitive technologies
Darwin Ecosystem was founded with a unique vision of harnessing chaos theory mathematics to uncover previously hidden connections in unstructured data. The company’s algorithms can look at all the data generated by any source (such as news, RSS feeds and Twitter), and analyze how a specific set of concepts within that data are evolving over time. This is particularly valuable in situations such as business and competitive intelligence, social research, brand monitoring, legal discovery, risk mitigation and even law enforcement. A common problem in these areas is that a regular web search will only turn up the all-time most popular answers to a given question – but what the expert researcher is actually interested in is the moment-tomoment evolution of the data available on that topic. Darwin’s algorithm is computationally intensive, and the sources of data it correlates can be vast. To bring its benefits to a larger commercial audience, Darwin needed to find a way to make it scale.

Delivering modern data protection with cloud scale backup from Cobalt Iron and IBM
Organizations are struggling to modernize their legacy data protection environments in the face of growing demands around new infrastructure, new applications, and budget consolidation. Virtualization and modern application development processes have significantly outgrown legacy backup architectures. In response, infrastructure teams have created multiple backup solution types to handle the varying SLAs (performance, scale, cost) required by their business sponsors. However, the sheer number and variety of solutions in this uncontrolled expansion creates huge amounts of work, threatening to overwhelm the IT team in many organizations. Today, developers may add new applications and virtual server instances by the hundreds per day without accounting for the restrictions of the existing backup infrastructure. They leverage the cloud for immediate compute and storage resources, yet rarely communicate succinctly with corporate IT to ensure that the appropriate data protection services are in place.
