We're training a generation of students who are more digitally nimble than the teachers are. As a result, we've ceded control to the most bandwidth-sapping applications, and we've got to manage it. We can deny access, buy more bandwidth, form a network Gestapo, or find a way to prioritize the traffic. Lightspeed Systems' traffic management software provides customizable traffic prioritization that ensures appropriate service levels for every application. This keeps everyone happy.
Students can continue accessing their favorite online applications.
Faculty members are not getting shut out of the network. Plus costs are kept down because the school is not being forced to buy more bandwidth.
