Case Study: Federation Training achieves highest endpoint protection and improved virtualization efficiency with Bitdefender GravityZone

Federation Training chooses Bitdefender GravityZone to secure virtualized environment

Federation Training, a vocational education provider with over 500 employees and nine campuses, was running a 99% virtualized IT estate — roughly 1,500 endpoints and 150 virtual servers — and had suffered recurring malware incidents (including Cryptolocker) while using two disparate antivirus solutions. Seeking VMware‑compatible protection built for virtual environments, Federation Training selected Bitdefender, adopting Bitdefender GravityZone (GravityZone Enterprise Security for Virtual Environments and GravityZone Enterprise Security for Endpoints) to meet its technical and budgetary requirements.

Bitdefender implemented a proof-of-concept of GravityZone for virtual environments and then rolled out GravityZone for endpoints across the campuses; installation and management proved straightforward. The Bitdefender solution offloaded scanning, removed the need to run a full client on every server, reduced resource consumption, increased virtualization cluster efficiency, delivered consistent protection with no breaches, and provided a single management console that makes scaling across their 1,500 endpoints and 150 virtual servers easier.
