Add intelligence to your network
Educational institutions are bringing more and more services online, from student registration to instructor websites to entire e-courses, and instructors and students expect reliable remote access. All of these offerings pose unique challenges related to security, access control, and bandwidth allocation, and the sheer variety of these challenges makes the entire infrastructure difficult to manage.
Protecting assets that are accessed by hundreds or even thousands of students--many logging on with unsecured personal computers--is a daunting task. Hacking, whether as pranks or attempts to alter grades, is always a concern. Innovation in education also continues to grow, with everything from podcast lectures to multimedia instructional materials to complete works being delivered online. As the number of applications on the network increases, there is an immediate need to control the delivery of applications.
