In this article

Ventask has been a client of DataRoad - IT Services and Consulting since 2016 and, in 2022, consolidated the management of its entire network infrastructure into an IT Unlimited contract: more than 350 workstations, corporate firewalls, switches, wireless access points, endpoint security and remote working. For an operation of this scale, the objective is clear: full availability, low latency and continuous security.
