TZ made the strategic decision to reposition its Smart Locker management systems to leverage growing market demand for information management systems that capture and integrate data at important exchange points in geographically distributed networks where items are deposited or collected by people. “Our new solutions positioning more clearly reflects customer demand drivers, wider market growth potential, adjacent market opportunities, and core business capabilities,” TZ Limited CEO, John Wilson, said.<\/p>

TZ’s software infrastructure represents a fully integrated and flexible platform that starts at the localized client application at the locker bank for workflow implementation, synchronizes with an enterprise level centralized server for remote system reporting, live locker unit monitoring and integration with third party systems. With sophisticated features such as remote locker bank control and management, real-time granular transactional reporting, locker reservation, smartphone app operation, and integration with third party back-end systems for streamlined operation.<\/p>

Typically companies remotely managing IoT devices face the problem of on-premise deployments due to traditional security measures such as\u00a0VPNs, static IP addresses, and port forwarding<\/a>, which results in costly engineering truck rolls to update software. With this type of infrastructure, customers scrutinize security threats of open inbound ports required to access the on-premise IoT devices. Ultimately, costs continue to rise due t ongoing operations and management of multiple types of customer endpoints and infrastructure.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Switching to\u00a0NetFoundry Cloud<\/a>\u00a0further enabled TZ to increase its infrastructure security, deliverability, and scalability with less complexity. Ingesting and transferring customer data from smart locking devices across a private, zero trust IoT fabric eliminated open inbound ports with a secure by default solution. TZ now has a far simpler and faster operating model when scaling from tens of thousands of devices.<\/p>

Most traditional IoT models have an operational burden associated with deploying and maintaining customer solutions with dependencies on IP addresses, port forwarding, and split tunneling for each device. TZ engineers can directly connect to kiosks independent of a connection to Azure, facilitate remote maintenance, and the pre- and post provisioning of kiosks.<\/p>

The full-mesh, self-healing, global\u00a0NetFoundry Fabric\u00a0<\/a>is more reliable and resilient than VPN tunnels, supporting more than 300 global cloud regions compared to OpenVPN’s 35, and enables simple and scalable remote management of TZ’s global admins and heavily distributed lockers. Where RDP and SSH over VPNs across long internet links can be painful and slow for remote admins, the NetFoundry Cloud fabric optimizes latency and reliability of these sessions.\u00a0<\/p>

Automation, accelerated deployments, and reduction in downtime also improved the company’s time to revenue.\u00a0<\/p>

\u00a0<\/h4>

Improving performance and product delivery experiences<\/h4>

NetFoundry Cloud improved TZ’s business speed and agility to respond to changing market dynamics, while enabling new innovation across operations and customer offerings. Its multi-cloud native technology and automation provides TZ with the simplicity and scalability to grow its business anywhere in the world regardless of customer volumes, geographies and use cases.\u00a0<\/p>

With multi-cloud native, embedded zero trust security, TZ can now easily extend into any cloud with centralized orchestration via API or web console, giving unparalleled visibility and control. NetFoundry Cloud’s private DNS and\u00a0mesh network\u00a0<\/a>offers near real-time intelligent routing across clouds, so there are no single points of failure as the real-time performance of the internet is a constant factor in dynamic route selection. This battle tested performance allows TZ to automate and scale solution deployments across the globe with significantly reduced TCO, network response times, and business risk, supporting growth well beyond hundreds of thousands of kiosks and lockers.\u00a0<\/p>

Smart routing and closer proximity to infrastructure and customers by utilizing the constantly growing coverage and reach of cloud service providers’ expansion also improved QoE. This creates new addressable markets as TZ is now able to meet country specific regulations like data privacy concerns, and became a unique selling point in the company’s value proposition and customer acquisition strategy.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Securely ingesting and transferring data from IoT devices across all customers is a priority for TZ Limited. NetFoundry Cloud will enable innovative outcome delivery at the highest level of quality while substantially reducing the risks and costs associated with meeting or exceeding these secure outcome expectations. According to Wilson, “NetFoundry Cloud has been a main enabler in our shift from a smart locker hardware manufacturer to a supplier of logistics software solutions.”<\/p>

NetFoundry Cloud will also make it easier for TZ to deploy new revenue models and service offerings without building additional security and networking infrastructure.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Networking was once a barrier to app innovation and automation with dependencies on after-the-fact security and performance engineering. NetFoundry is shifting the paradigm in cybersecurity by embedding zero trust networking and security as code. Our NetFoundry Cloud solution embeds zero trust as software into apps, APIs, IoT devices, and other valuable assets rendering critical infrastructure invisible to the internet – and unreachable by potential attackers. It is the world’s first programmable, cloud native, zero trust network with near unlimited scale concurrency, and performance. NetFoundry Cloud represents a new art of the impossible by enabling developers, network engineers, DevOps, and cloud teams to programmatically control private, zero trust, high performance networking. NetFoundry Cloud is built on NetFoundry’s Ziti platform which is part of the OpenZiti project, the world’s most used and widely integrated open source networking platform.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
