Don't Let Your Network be an Obstacle to Learning
Educational institutions face enormous pressure to deliver consistent network performance to meet the diverse needs of students, faculty and researchers. Students and educators alike are accessing bandwidth-intensive online applications and rich media like videos and podcasts for educational purposes. Institutions must also deal with ever-increasing recreational (and potentially illegal) traffic that threatens to overrun the network including P2P file sharing and social networking applications.
With Exinda, educational institutions gain visibility into the types of traffic and traffic volume on the network – even encrypted applications like BitTorrent. With a clear view of the top inbound and outbound applications, institutions can allocate more bandwidth to high-priority applications while minimizing the bandwidth allocated to recreational traffic. By providing control over network usage down to the individual user level, Exinda helps educational institutions conserve bandwidth and guarantee performance for educational and administrative traffic.
