Implement Security and Cloud Solutions while Enhancing Compliance:


Network and Hardware Upgrades

SynergizeNOW began by overhauling V-Tron’s network infrastructure. We implemented new switches and access points to ensure fast and reliable connectivity. Server hardware was upgraded to support more demanding applications and workloads, and Hyper-V virtualization was introduced to enhance server efficiency and flexibility.

Active Directory Implementation

Transitioning V-Tron from a workgroup setup to an AD environment was a crucial step. This change enabled centralized management of user accounts and devices, enhancing security and simplifying IT operations.

Microsoft 365 and SSO Integration

To improve collaboration and productivity, V-Tron adopted Microsoft 365. We integrated AD with Microsoft 365 to enable SSO, providing users with seamless access to cloud resources using their AD credentials.

Enhanced Security with Barracuda

For comprehensive security, SynergizeNOW implemented the Barracuda suite for Microsoft 365. This included advanced email protection, network security, and backup solutions to safeguard against threats and ensure data integrity.

Intune Implementation

We deployed Intune for device management, allowing V-Tron to manage and secure their devices efficiently, ensuring compliance with company policies and security standards.

On-Premises Servers for CUI

Given V-Tron’s involvement in government projects, maintaining on-premises servers for CUI was essential. This setup ensures compliance with CMMC requirements while leveraging the benefits of a hybrid IT infrastructure.
