After upgrading the HQ and Saudi and Iraq branches, the client identified critical inconsistencies in their Qatar branch. Outdated networking gear and an unsupported ESXi 6.5 virtualization host created security vulnerabilities and operational challenges. The client needed a unified, modern, and secure infrastructure to align with regional standards.
Challenge / Pain Point
- Legacy networking equipment and outdated systems.
- Security gaps due to unsupported virtualization platform.
- Difficulty in centralized management across multiple sites.
- Need for regional alignment in standards, governance, and resilience.
Our Approach
We designed a comprehensive, remote-led modernization plan executed on-site in Qatar:
- Network Enhancement
- Deployed a Next-Generation Firewall (FortiGate) and segmented the network using multiple VLANs.
- Isolated servers for IT-only access and created a secure guest wireless network.
- Configured one-way printer access and applied strict web/application filtering for compliance.
- System Modernization
- Upgraded the core platform from ESXi 6.5 to the latest version.
- Migrated all virtual machines seamlessly without disruption.
- Implemented a fully encrypted Veeam backup repository to safeguard against ransomware and malicious activity.
Results & Impact
-
- Unified Governance: Qatar branch now operates under the same centralized standards as other GCC sites.
- Enhanced Data Protection: Encrypted backups reduce recovery time and cyber risk exposure.
- Business Continuity: A Disaster Recovery site in France mirrors other branches, ensuring comprehensive operational resilience.
The Qatar branch now benefits from secure, high-performance infrastructure, fully aligned with the client’s global operations.
