Higher-Ed
Universities face a unique set of WAN performance challenges. Laptops and wireless
Internet access, satellite campuses, dormitories, libraries and eLearning applications
all contribute to an enormous volume of traffic passing across the WAN. Universities
specializing in scientific and medical research must also facilitate real-time collaboration
between peers and support bandwidth-intensive online applications.
Exinda helps universities monitor, control and optimize their WANs so that students
experience consistent network access. With Exinda, universities can implement policies
to limit or restrict usage so that recreational traffic such as P2P file sharing
and social networking doesn’t impede network performance. Exinda allows universities
to establish fair-sharing and usage controls in such a way that they are as non-intrusive
as possible to tuition-paying students. This allows institutions to balance the
needs of students with the requirement to maintain network and application performance
while lowering network operating costs.
Key Features and Benefits
- Control recreational usage and P2P traffic that threatens network performance
- Accelerate legitimate eLearning, research and administrative applications
- Make the most of available network resources and defer bandwidth upgrades
- Optimize the WAN so satellite campuses and remote users experience near LAN-like speed
