Salt Lake City, UT - Cymphonix has announced Trinity Preparatory School in Winter Park, Florida, has integrated the Cymphonix Network Composer DC30X as its sole content filtering solution and is now able to prioritize its bandwidth and prevent students from bypassing its firewall using HTTPS protocols.
Prior to purchasing the Cymphonix device, Network administrators for Trinity Preparatory recognized two serious issues within their Cisco firewall infrastructure. First, they were struggling with the mis-utilization of bandwidth resources caused by students that were accessing web-based materials such as Facebook and streaming media sites that monopolized the school's overall bandwidth availability.
Secondly, their Cisco firewall did not provide network administrators the ability to prioritize websites and content but instead, limited users to the confines of a black and white list. "We were unable to prioritize the individual needs of our faculty and students without essentially eliminating the student's ability to access the web. We got to a point where we had to completely block Facebook, Myspace, YouTube and all other streaming media for the entire network, which is not conducive in the academic environment...especially when there is so much content-rich information readily available through sites like these," commented Denise Musselwhite, Director of Technology for Trinity Preparatory.
Once the Cymphonix Network Composer was installed, Trinity Preparatory's network administrators saw immediate value in the product. The Network Composer revealed that students were streaming media even more than administrators had originally expected. "Being able to run a number of reports in real-time and have full visibility of our network is invaluable," said Griffith. Network Composer has provided Trinity Preparatory the ability to prioritize its web traffic so that faculty and staff no longer experience noticeable latency of their network
