Building a Smarter IT Infrastructure for Education
Secure applications from intrusions
The F5 application security solution recognizes and stops attacks before they can reach your applications. By enforcing a positive security model that allows only “known-good” transactions, F5 safeguards against unauthorized access and malicious traffic of every kind, whether the perpetrator is a serious hacker or a student prankster.
Provide secure remote access to students and staff
Using F5 secure remote access capabilities, students and workers can access applications and data from any device or network.
The solution requires only a standard web browser and gives administrators granular policy control, simplifying administration to reduce deployment and management costs. Strong endpoint security ensures the accessing device is fully protected and in compliance with your organization’s security policies before allowing the connection.
F5 takes the only approach to DNS security (DNSSEC) that enables organizations to deploy DNSSEC quickly and easily into an existing global server load balancing environment.
Deliver fast and available online education services with greater efficiency
Beyond powerful load balancing capabilities, F5’s application delivery solution gives your school exceptional scalability and control in managing application traffic. Advanced TCP connection management and server offload help you optimize your existing infrastructure—tripling server capacity and reducing bandwidth costs by up to 80 percent.
Meet service level agreements and improve disaster recovery
F5 solutions play a key role in maintaining your school’s service level agreements and assuring uptime. F5 global traffic management capabilities automate failover to secondary data centers when the primary site becomes overloaded or unavailable, eliminating downtime for users.
