Client Profile

A US-based federal government contractor offering compliance and risk management solutions across healthcare and public sectors. 

Challenges

The organization had to transition from legacy terminal servers to a secure digital workspace environment to meet federal contract requirements: 

  • Required infrastructure for 500 concurrent users. 
  • Needed to secure sensitive government data.
  • Key tools like SAS had to be virtualized. 
  • MFA had to be enforced with minimal workflow disruption. 
  • Load balancers required SSL encryption. 

Anunta’s Solution

The client needed a secure and compliant infrastructure fast, to support hundreds of new users. Anunta designed a highly secure, on-premises virtual desktop platform tailored for federal compliance standards, using industry best practices in segmentation, encryption, and role-based access. 

Anunta built high-availability ESXi clusters and golden images to support rapid provisioning. Key applications like SAS and internal tools were tested for compatibility, and access pathways were carefully validated. Multi-Factor Authentication was integrated in a way that balanced usability with strict compliance. 

The team also configured SSL certificates on F5 load balancers to encrypt traffic, meeting federal data protection mandates. Long-term Day 2 support—including monitoring, patching, and escalation management—was set up to ensure the environment remained secure and efficient as user count grew. 

Key Benefits 

  • Secure Migration: Scalable infrastructure onboarded 300–400 users smoothly. 
  • Full Compliance: Met strict government security standards. 
  • Sustained Operations: Day 2 support ensured reliability. 
  • App Readiness: SAS and internal tools fully integrated. 
  • Encrypted Access: SSL-enabled traffic protection.
