The company was undergoing a transformation of its data center operations, migrating some of its business applications to a cloud-based Nutanix TierPoint co-located (Co-lo) facility. However, they were experiencing visibility limitations that made it difficult to determine whether the migrated applications were performing reliably. They also had visibility limitations into their Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) and Oracle services, which made it challenging to assure the performance of applications used by guards and personnel to manage on-site operations at correctional and residential facilities. Additionally, the company had been given several months to comply with National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) measurements, which required evidence of organizational conformity with safeguards relating to network monitoring for performance and availability, preventing cybersecurity breaches, and protecting client and employee healthcare and financial data.
