Keep your campus connected, secure, and ready for the future of learning. With more devices, apps, and digital classrooms than ever before, higher education networks face mounting demands—often with lean IT teams and budgets. Proactive performance testing and infrastructure assessments during low-utilization periods ensure fewer disruptions, stronger reliability, and better experiences for students and faculty alike.
When students are in class, network operations staff face issues with congested links, complaints of “I can’t connect”, and noisy WiFi – but now there is an opportunity. Low-utilization periods have proven to be excellent times for benchmarking performance, throughput testing, discovering and resolving latent issues lurking in the system. Problems can be mitigated without the competing student traffic which can make them harder to find. And in fact, NOW is the time to re-assess the network infrastructure, prior to students returning to on-site learning.
