Case Study: BLDD Architects achieves 100% threat blocking, improved infrastructure performance and streamlined security administration with Bitdefender GravityZone

BLDD delivers blueprint for advanced data center security

BLDD Architects, a multi‑office architectural and design firm headquartered in Decatur, Illinois, needed a security solution optimized for virtualized VMware workloads and heavy graphics applications. Their prior protection missed infections and consumed too many CPU resources, so BLDD chose Bitdefender’s GravityZone Enterprise Security (with the GravityZone On‑Premises Management Console) to secure VMware, Windows and Mac endpoints while minimizing performance impact.

Bitdefender integrated GravityZone with VMware vCenter to protect physical workstations and VMware Horizon virtual desktops, using CPU‑based licensing to scale automatically as desktop counts fluctuate. The solution blocked 100% of attempted threats in BLDD’s environment, cut weekly security administration from 4–5 hours to under one hour, improved infrastructure performance and efficiency, enabled remote proactive management, and made secure virtual desktops available for employees working from home.
