Challenges
- Stable and scalable infrastructure
- Wide range of coverage for mass amount of devices
- Efficient maintenance and management tasks
- Centralized management
"We strive to provide good experience for our users and that’s really the value the Extreme Networks solution has created. Extreme Networks allowed us to deliver this more easily once we migrated from our existing high-maintenance on-premises solution to the new infrastructure that can be managed remotely. It’s all part of our student success scenario. We want to minimize any and all barriers to student success and new stable, secure infrastructure allows us to do that."
