Venusense announced that its Venusense Unified Security Gateway (UTM) had been successfully deployed in Chongqing Power to provide total security protection for its data center, ensuring safe operation of its key operations.

The continuous development of information system of Chongqing Electric Power Corporation and the implementation of “SG168” program of the State Grid brought large amount of network applications. Under such profound network applications, total data centralization is necessary for intensive and detailed management, for optimization of business and management process by power enterprises, and for IT construction of power enterprises. The construction of data center is necessary for realizing total data centralization. Currently, most application systems of the corporation have realized total data centralization. As a location with the most frequent exchange of data and intensive resources, data center is no doubt a data castle surrounded by vast threats. Any negligence of protection will bound to result in immeasurable losses. Therefore, power enterprises must build a strong security protection system for its data center.

Facing increasing security threats, data center of Chongqing Electric Power Corporation requires a total and unified security solution.
