-- CIDRS (Camera Intrusion Detection and Reporting System), which monitors the physical perimeter of Logan International Airport and the Port of Boston for intruders -- The Ship Height Monitoring System, which monitors ships in the harbor to ensure that they won't interfere with the flight path of aircraft taking off or landing at the airport -- A new noise and operations monitoring system, which leverages passive radar and noise monitors to track noise in communities surrounding Logan.Domenico is confident that the Enterasys infrastructure will also support new applications, such as an enhanced on-airfield vehicle tracking system that is under development. Massport takes a layered approach to infrastructure security with networks that include Enterasys Matrix™ N-Series flow switches at the core and Martix E-Series switches at the edge, as well as RoamAbout® wireless switches and access points for secure mobility. The NetSight® Management Suite provides visibility and control, and the Dragon® intrusion detection/prevention system enhances the organization's security posture. "One of the biggest frustrations for most companies today is that anyone can deploy a multitude of security programs and systems, but most are difficult to implement and cumbersome to manage," Domenico said. "Enterasys provides a comprehensive, integrated solution that delivers the security and performance we require, yet is very easy to deploy and manage. This allows my team to be highly efficient and gives us the time we need to focus on other critical tasks." Massport manages its large infrastructure with a team of five network professionals thanks to the centralized visibility and control delivered by the NetSight Management Suite, which monitors both the access control network and the corporate data network from a single location. "NetSight allows us to monitor security incidents and ensure network availability, simultaneously," Domenico said. "With NetSight, we can manage our entire network efficiently, enforce policies automatically, and troubleshoot issues without having to physically visit each device." The level of service Massport receives from Enterasys has also been outstanding. "The team at Enterasys understands technology, but most importantly, they understand how their technology works in our environment, which means we receive superior service," Domenico says. "Even with a deployment of our size, to other vendors we're just a number. With Enterasys, we're a valued customer and partner. Enterasys consistently comes through for us." In the near future, Massport will deploy Matrix X secure core routers to increase capacity in its office automation network. During this upgrade, existing high-availability Enterasys routers will be redeployed to other sites, increasing their return on investment. Massport also plans to take advantage of additional Dragon capabilities with the Dragon Security Command Console, and will deploy Enterasys Network Access Control to assess, authenticate and authorize any user or device that attempts to connect to the network. "Enterasys has consistently offered the most cost-effective solutions, both in terms of up-front capital costs and ongoing operating costs. In the transportation industry, all rates and charges are passed on to tenants, so we're highly conscious of our obligation to be efficient and effective in the way we operate our business," Domenico said. "Enterasys delivers the best long-term solution: not only is the technology innovative and proven with unmatched security, manageability, and performance -- but the lower amount of required time and money ensures we realize a rapid return on investment overall."
