University Teknikal Malaysia Melaka
(UTem) is a Malaysian education provider with more than 1000 employees
and more than 1500 students. Established in 2000, its vision is to be
one of the world's most innovative and creative technical universities.
ChallengesˇG
As UTem expanded, the campus faced growing demand for higher quality
services to teachers and students. The IT department had a number of
challenges:
Bandwidth was being used for P2P downloads of
movies and music, slowing network access for legitimate uses. UTem was
therefore planning to increase bandwidth.
Adult entertainment and other types of illegal website were being accessed.
UTemˇ¦s network manager had poor visibility of their networkˇ¦s status.
UTemˇ¦s IT department needed to offer consistently high service levels to its users, even in case of failure.
Benefit:
After deploying MIA appliances, network performance improved immediately:
P2P Control: UTem reduced the amount of P2P traffic, saving bandwidth and cutting budgets.
Web filtering: The MIA filters adult
entertainment and similar sites that are inappropriate for an
educational institution.
Reporting: The MIA solution gives UTemˇ¦s
network managers different views of the network, including bar charts,
pie charts, and comparison charts based on user, time, application and
so on. This gives them a better understanding of network usage and
student activity.
Security: The solution supports hardware bypass. In case of failure, user access is not impaired.
