Education: Provide the online learning tools students need
With so much competition for limited school funding, how can your institution afford the online learning tools students need to succeed in today’s global economy? Even if your budget covers the initial software and hardware purchases, the cost of maintaining network performance and security can prevent you from realizing the full potential of your applications. In addition, you face tough compliance standards with state and federal privacy laws. How can you do it all?
The Application Delivery Network (ADN) can help you meet all these challenges. By providing a comprehensive application delivery infrastructure that combines Application Performance Monitoring, WAN Optimization and Secure Web Gateway technologies, the Application Delivery Network enables you to:
- Accelerate eLearning applications across your distributed network.
- Ensure compliance with the Child Internet Protection Act (CIPA) and associated access to e-rate funds.
- Create a safe online learning environment.
- Protect confidential student and employee records from loss, theft or corruption.
- Control recreational network use that threatens application performance and data security.
