Managing configuration for education institutions
Institutions of higher education have many of the same compliance requirements as corporations. Students and staff demand high availability for traffic-intensive and time-sensitive applications, and there are compliance requirements such as PCI, which also adds stress to the network.
Adding to the complexity, colleges often employ graduate and undergraduate students to work in their IT departments and help with the management of the network infrastructure. With limited experience, students with good intentions can negatively impact the network performance. Our educational customers rely on Netcordia solutions for managing network change and configurations based on strict policies, and because the users require minimal training and virtually no ongoing management to succeed.
NetMRI enables higher education institutions to:
- Automate network change to optimize performance while empowering less experienced staff to be more productive
- Manage configurations to proactively detect and verify student staff did not negatively impact devices or performance
- Meet compliance requirements to ensure mandates are followed
The NetMRI Difference
- Optimizes availability using built-in intelligence to consolidate configuration, compliance, and performance requirements
- Automates change across the network which improves staff productivity
- Improves service quality for bandwidth-intensive and time-sensitive applications
- Manages a distributed architecture of campuses, dormitories, faculty and staff from a single, centralized view
- Helps meet compliance mandates, such as PCI requiements, with built-in, fully-automate reports
- Extends security controls by enabling user-role change approval authorization
