By supplying public sector institutions with superior technology solutions and compute devices, EGI is creating a framework for IT innovation throughout Connecticut, one installation at a time.
The Problem
A Hartford, CT, government agency was tasked with finding an energy- and cost-efficient IT infrastructure solution that could support for the city’s workforce of roughly 5,500 employees, and their 8,000 PCs in nearly 100 locations.
The Solution
A NetApp Certified Specialist, EGI was able to deploy a production environment for Hartford's server virtualization initiative, providing simplicity, flexibility, and a space savings of over 50% for low impact support virtual desktops.
The Problem
A Connecticut governmental department needed to reduce cost and complexity by replacing existing desktops with a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI); however, budget, timeline, and customer resources were all limited.
The Solution
EGI provided an in-depth project manager to deliver and deploy VDI clients at various sites around CT while continuously monitoring costs along the way. EGI removed legacy systems, updated asset management, and destroyed all sensitive information.
The Problem
A school district in Fairfield County was in the process of constructing both a new elementary school and a high school, necessitating an updated IT infrastructure and fleet of end-user devices.
The Solution
EGI worked with the school building construction management teams and the district itself to implement a new networking architecture, security, telepresence, and VoIP. A robust fleet of newly imaged desktops and laptops were also deployed.
The Problem
A public school system in the Lower Naugatuck Valley region required that its end user desktops be moved from their current location to a new spot on school premises.
The Solution
Ergonomic Group's white-glove logistics services efficiently migrated the desktop devices to their new location, quickly and carefully getting students back online.
The Problem
When a Fairfield County public school system had to deploy a new Cisco VoIP solution at a new school building site, they needed expert assistance.
The Solution
Ergonomic Group designed and installed phones and mounts, as well as provided licenses, trainings, and the configuration of additional functionality.
The Problem
A mid-sized community college in Waterbury, CT, began experiencing complications due to its current networking environment and required a full virtual network redesign and implementation project.
The Solution
EGI redesigned the community college’s virtual infrastructure and implemented a new, robust Cisco network and VMware virtual environment, resulting in a fully configured metropolitan area cluster to connect students and professors.
The Problem
A Fairfield County school system needed to refresh and replace its legacy firewall with a Fortinet 1200D firewall in an highly available (HA) configuration in order to take advantage of a next-gen firewall solution.
The Solution
Ergonomic Group integrated the Fortinet 1200D HA configuration to work in conjunction with the school system's web content and email filtering appliances for optimal performance.
The Problem
A police department in Litchfield County required a robust, reliable VPN security device.
The Solution
Ergonomic Group installed and configured an appropriate VPN device to effectively secure all police data.
The Problem
After application performance problems and latency issues, a town in Tolland County requested a network health check to determine the issue.
The Solution
Ergonomic Group delivered a network health report identifying anomalies, inefficiencies, and irregularities causing the town's network to operate in a less than an effective manner, then suggested next steps.
The Problem
A town in Tolland County required a complete infrastructure refresh, including servers, storage, networking, and security, across both the town and the police department.
The Solution
Ergonomic Group provided a server, storage, backup, networking, and security assessment in order to properly size and design a solution, which included disaster recovery and business continuity testing. EGI then implemented a complete solution.
