JSC Enabling Technology and Security

MEI provides information technology managed security services and data center operations for NASA’s Johnson Space Center. Managed security services include development, implementation and operation of security infrastructure solutions, network security monitoring, incident response, vulnerability scanning and reduction, and network content management. For operations of data centers, MEI supports advanced infrastructure development and implementation, systems integration and operations, systems administration, sustaining engineering, disaster planning and recovery, performance monitoring and tuning, capacity management and planning, maintenance and license agreements, facility operations and physical security, and environmental monitoring.

MEI employs a patent-pending security information management tool in support of security operations. MEI manages approximately 300 institutional systems from the enterprise firewalls that protect data to complex engineering application systems such as the Engineering Computational Facility and the Design Data Management System used to design and analyze NASA spacecraft. Disciplines employed in support of the capabilities described above include requirements definition, configuration management, integration, testing and validation, modeling and simulation, and training and deployment. Typical of the projects completed include:

• Recently, MEI completed the development of a consolidated storage area network for operational use at JSC that provides backup and disaster recovery capabilities for approximately 300 institutional servers totaling over 70 TB of data. In addition, MEI proposed and is in the process of implementing a new content filtering solution for the IT security infrastructure which will save NASA over $200K in the next 5 years.
