GMC

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Although the primary KPI for this experimental campaign was increased site visits, the team tracked additional metrics. Across the board the results were impressive and, in some cases, surprising. Based on customer-initiated engagement with GMC’s shopping tools, we learned that many visitors were lower in the purchasing funnel than originally assumed, and were influenced by GMC’s lifestyle content. GMC was the first automotive OEM to roll out a content-driven, lifestyle-themed SEO strategy. Now, other automotive brands are pursuing the same strategy.

HOW DO YOU DECIDE?

For enterprise organizations around the world, Software Defined Networking (SDN) is transforming the way we build and operate our networking infrastructure. Similar to the way virtualization technology has revolutionized application servers and storage, we are now going through the same evolution on the networking side of the house. The promise of SDN touches on several aspects. Simplicity and speed of rolling out new services across an organization is one. Flexibility and operational efficiencies to reduce cost is another. However one of the most critical aspects of SDN is its implications on security. With the almost weekly news of hackers penetrating critical institutions around the world, this cannot come soon enough. Let’s look at three ways SDN can help organizations secure their networks and keep hackers at bay.

NETWORK MICRO

Networks were originally designed to connect devices and users together. However, as more applications and services started to move to IP (think of CCTV cameras, building management systems, telephones, etc.), the need to separate those devices into separate zones became essential. Using one physical converged network makes sense from a cost and management perspective, but SDN would allow us splitting up this network into secure isolated zones. An attacker, whether an external hacker or even a disgruntled employee, will not be able to have access to any network services outside of their allocated zone.
