I thought i would make a quick blog post on a popular topic cropping up in the forums.

I hope IT will find this useful as well as SMT, ultimately it is with the students in mind.

Internet is not just a research tool now for students it is a way for them to communicate which is great but the internet can be dangerous students are susceptable to unsuitable internet sites, bullying threats the list is endless..

With schools Colleges and Uni's becoming increasingly reliant on IT, with networks growing and becoming increasingly more complex IT need the resource and investment

to keep up.

First of all IT need that visablity of the growing network, the support, the man power that goes into managing, the growing number of products from different suppliers for security, storage, reporting, policy enforcement products the list is endless

I have finally saw a product that has exceeded my high expection from a company known as Lightspeed Systems saw them at BETT

Total Traffic Control is the product name many of you will be familar with already

Earnie one who is very technical to say the least again very passionate about what he does

Turns out they are the fastest education global growing company and I am not suprised when I looked at it and to appreciate the features and the benefits all from 1 console to control spam, web content filter, malware protection, zero hour protection, stateful Inspection Firewall, bandwidth management, email journal, application control, removable media control, policy enforcement, network usage reports, user activity reports, hardware inventory software audit -This really does do the lot all out of 1 box a piece of software built for education at last!

You really need to see it in action to appreciate Earnie certainly leaves impressions he left a good one on me, we took the evaluation just to see if this product really did all what he said it says on the tin and more, 1 solution for everything.

We now benefit from a more streamlined security and administration and we have been able to reduce our annual costs year on year see what you think anyway or get in touch with me if you know of a product that exceeds expections i would be curious to see
