Challenges for the Education Industry Today

Education is one of the main priorities in today’s

society. This poses the questions of how we learn

today and what technologies we should use.

There are many challenges for each educational

facility and their IT department’s. First of all we

are seeing a rapid demand of mobility and Wi-Fi

connectivity leading to a major technology

evolution in the education sector. The best example

is the overwhelming success of the Apple iPhone

and iPad immediately bringing new challenges

to school administrators. The boom of mobility in

education has massive impact in the design of the IT

infrastructure to cope with 100’s of users requiring

simultaneous connectivity to the schools resources.

In addition to this educational institutions are

increasingly having to compete with each other to

attract a shrinking number of students in almost

all European countries. Another consideration is

access to multimedia – especially  nding su cient

broadband connectivity with enough bandwidth

for complex applications, such as audio/video

streaming or eLearning – which have become a key

element in the competiveness of schools.

The Web 2.0 – Risk and Opportunity at the Same

Time

“Bring your own device” is now a popular slogan as

students want to use their own laptops, netbooks,

tablets and smartphones which brings the added

bonus that schools do not have to provide them.

But how do you manage their security? Talking

about security we must accept the realities of the

Web 2.0. No one can deny that this has become an

important part of the lives of a majority of students

today, however it also brings its own problems

with the subsequent risk of misuse as well as the

toll all of this takes on the bandwidth. This is where

ZyXEL comes in with the ZyWALL USG series as the

control center for the network, o ering uni ed

threat management including strong content

 ltering capabilities to restrict and manage social

networking applications. It is equally important to

not only secure the application, but to also have the

right infrastructure in place.

High speed wireless for an always-on connection

is the key element for an attractive technology

package for potential student users. Two of ZyXEL’s

products to highlight here are the NXC5200

wireless controller for complete control and the

scalable 3000 series Hybrid controller access point

concept to manage network settings centrally,

therefore signi cantly saving WLAN managing time

and costs.

ZyXEL – Have the Full Portfolio

ZyXEL o ers numerous solutions to address all these

challenges as a whole and o ers you, as a reseller,

the chance to get into the education market with

an excellent o ering from one source. ZyXEL can

provide a complete solution to provide both wired

and wireless mobility solutions with authentication

and access control, while implementing security

policies to protect and enhance the schools

potential and students learning experience.

ZyXEL Secure Mobility Enables You to Provide a

Top Score Learning Environment

ZyXEL o ers the right solution for every potential

scenario for di erent sizes and number of users.

This includes solutions starting from primary school

EDUCATION

level up to large campus networks. On the next

page you will see two di erent campus scenarios

that ZyXEL can cover with its full range of solutions.

A Typical Example: The Sint-Janscollege Gent

The Sint-Janscollege is a good typical example for

the Primary type. Saint John’s College (campus

Heiveld) consists of a main building and two branch

buildings. All buildings must be connected by fast

internet connections. In order to keep students’

sur ng habits, including the social networking

sites, under control sophisticated security measures

must be ensured.

In practice this means that the school network

is only used for what it is intended for: that is

educational information and training. Also, it is

important that the school IT manager can see what

is happening on their network, and by whom.

Another challenge is that both the multipurpose

room and the gym are regularly rented to others.

Hence the access to the Internet by these other

parties (guest WLAN) must be restricted.

If an accident occurs in the gym it should be

possible to react quickly. Therefore they need

to provide immediate access to make Internet

emergency calls. A  nal important element

to consider is the bandwidth of one Internet

connection, which must be prioritised so that the

management always has a privileged access. With

the portfolio of USG to provide secure tra c and

an infrastructure consisting of ZyXEL switches and

WLAN equipment the Sint-Janscollege could easily

overcome all of these challenges, as well as adding

excellent bene ts to their own educational o ering.

Over the last few years Education has become one of the key vertical markets for the

IT industry. By providing excellent infrastructure and application security from one

source, ZyXEL now gives resellers the opportunity to successfully get into the education

market.
