Quote, attributed to Werick Venter, IT Infrastructure Manager, ACSA
“ACSA is tasked with managing the aviation infrastructure of South Africa. Eye of the Storm is tasked with monitoring our IT infrastructure so we can continue developing world-class, secure and safe airport experiences for our customers. The complex services that operate our airports demand 24/7 network access. EYE has assisted ACSA IT to have insight into network performance and availability to a level that has never been possible for us. Problem resolution is now greatly enhanced due to this insight as well as using the excellent features within EYE. Because of the initial success on the LAN infrastructure, EYE will be expanded to include other infrastructure components such as servers monitoring, Firewall, VMware, etc. Our local Entuity partner, NetSpeed Technologies has helped us maximize our EYE deployment with their professionalism and outstanding technical expertise. We look forward to the future with our network foundation solidly in place to support ACSA’s entire business.”
