Control Internet costs and simplify your network with advanced Internet management solutions
Blue Reef helps tertiary education institutions control Internet costs and allocate Internet pipe to the applications and users who need it most, providing a safe and accessible on-line environment with Internet filtering and usage reporting for all users and devices in a single, highly scalable and easy to manage platform.
Leading higher educational institutions strive to acheive an open and "always on" online environment, to achieve this goal these institutions need to offer a highly available and scalable campus Internet experience.
Delivering bandwidth-critical applications like video conferencing and opening Internet access to thousands of students and faculty introduces a number of control challenges - making sure enough bandwidth is dedicated to each business requirement, seamlessly supporting single-sign-on in a multi-platform environment, protection for under 18 students and security against internal and external threats like spam, viruses and malware.
Tertiary Institutions Challenges:
- Thousands of new students every year, with many students enrolling mid term, or mid course
- High turnover of short seminars and courses requiring dedicated bandwidth to support requirements
- Limited Internet resources
- Enabling access to WEB 2.0 Internet applications securely
- Management of insider threats from thousands of mobile devices
- Reporting and visibility on Internet usage for students, staff, faculty and temporary guests
Blue Reef's Solutions can help with:
- Control per user Internet quotas and shape user traffic speeds when they exceed limits
- Integrated Internet billing, ticketing and kiosk with self service web based recharging for cost recovery
- Self service reporting for students so they can manage their own usage
- Filter inappropriate content
- Identify and control software downloads and updates
- Real time monitoring of WAN application traffic and monitoring of bandwidth consumption patterns
