As a leading provider of conversion services, igxglobal has developed a best practices approach and tools to assist clients with the process of moving from legacy platforms to industry best in breed solutions. With an emphasis on reducing the time, risk and the administrative burden, igxglobal has developed a more efficient process to convert checkpoint firewall rule polices to Juniper NetScreen policies.
(PRWEB) September 28, 2006 -- igxglobal, a leading information security integrator, announces the enhancement of their original migration services and tools. As a leading integrator and expert in migration services, igxglobal has launched a series of tools aimed at reducing the time, risk exposure and cost of migrating from legacy platforms to Juniper Networks appliances.
The igxglobal tools sets are based upon years of experience and practical hands on services that have been provided to many clients by the igxglobal professional services resources. The tools focus on the identification of existing rules and the mapping those to the newer platforms specific methodology and process for presenting the configurations. The rules conversion is one component of a comprehensive migration effort, however one that can be a manual painstaking and costly process. Typical rules in one platform can translate into several tens and hundreds of lines in another. With a need to dedicate hours, days and even weeks of scrubbing and analyzing line by line, migrating to next generation best in breed solutions can be viewed as cost prohibitive and clients can be discouraged to invest in a change. igxglobal identified that there was a need to provide more efficiencies and cost savings and improved the overall process ten fold by reducing what typically took days to hours and even minutes.
“We recognized that the industry lacked any real standard or quality in tools to assist our teams with a migration process,” said John Eustice, igxglobal Director of Technical Services. “Furthermore we knew that the important part of any project and solution that we provide to our clients is our ability to remove the burden and risk to our client’s environment. Our tool sets provide the right amount of efficiencies and reliability that ensures we get off to a good start with our clients projects and frees up time for our resources to focus on more advanced and additional services that our clients require.”
“Our teams worked on a global basis to develop comprehensive toolsets,” said David Robinson, igxglobal UK Limited EMEA Operations Director. “Working with our US counterparts we collectively focused our expertise on bringing technical excellence to the process. Our shared initiatives paid off and we have a comprehensive set of tools and services that address policy, NAT and other translation services that can be provided remotely as a web based solution or onsite as a tactical tool and resource.”
The igxglobal migration services are part of a comprehensive life cycle offering that igxglobal provides to their clients. With a focus on analyzing risk and making recommendations to reduce threats, igxglobal professional service resources provide the subject matter expertise to help take clients from their current state to the desired state. The migration tools address the need for standards in approach and methodology and ensure the project is accomplished right the first time and competed on time.
