In addition to managing the physical architecture of the data center, Comtech performed various network management operations for GSA. Comtech provides high level of availability and reliability by fully leveraging management tools like vSphere 4, which has been used to virtualize the servers in the production environment.  Comtech supports all hardware and software hosted at the GSA’s Enterprise Service Center  (ESC) with a documented process for installation and connectivity through the lifecycle of the system. This flow moves up the OSI model facilitating documentation of inventory, changes in the environment, maintaining security, managing systems and training personnel.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation="" row_type="row" use_row_as_full_screen_section="no" type="grid" angled_section="no" text_align="left" background_image_as_pattern="without_pattern" background_color="#f7f8fa" padding_top="100" padding_bottom="100" z_index="" css=".vc_custom_1530530242090{padding-top: 158px !important;}" el_class="tabs-second-row tabs-third-row"][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_column_text]Comtech has played a major role in the architecture design, coding and implementation of highly complex application suites. An example of this is the Weasel, Badger and Wolverine application suite. Written entirely by Comtech and GSA staff, this suite was developed for a specific need, with the highest level of expertise, implemented and operated successfully agency-wide, and has served as the de facto intrusion detection and resolution mechanism for the internal GSA LAN/WAN environments.

<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_column_text]Overall, by consolidating the IT Services contracts across the enterprise, Comtech has been able to work with OCIO to more effectively plan service delivery and implement processes that benefit GSA management and end users. We are able to provide evidence to track revenue growth for investment and utilization, manage budget, implement effective risk management, and maintain effective communication with customers for all areas of the service delivery. This has resulted in a reduction of staff (315 from 460) and a reduction in cost from $70M to $40M per year.
