We're mainly an Extreme (Aerohive) trust. Really easy to set up and manage, never had an issue. We're using it in a couple of secondary schools 1200+ students and a primary. I'm also managing some of my other branded switches (HP, Dell and Cisco) that I've inherited with the same Extreme Cloud IQ dashboard. It's really slick. I can back up my switches running config with a few clicks and even created network maps with real-time VLAN mapping. Went out to test the market last year and Extreme was cheaper than Meraki and Ruckus by quite a bit. They were a little bit cheaper than Aruba.

We're planning on using Extreme Networks for this. A few of our other schools are already using Extreme anyway - transferable licensing between devices, so if we want to upgrade APs / switches within the license period it's simple. Plus unlike one of our schools that went Meraki, once the licenses expired the switches stopped working. Not a nice thing to discover on a Monday. Generally been cheaper than Ruckus, Meraki and Aruba on pricing. Plus I can manage my other Dell, HP and Cisco switches from a single dashboard within their XIQ platform.

Thanks for your response Paul. Much appreciated.

Hi Paul, please can you elaborate on the edge that Lightspeed has on Chromebooks? We're a very Chromebook heavy Trust and trying to decide between the two.

I would also like to know. Can I buy cheap consumer grade SSDs. Does it matter if I'm a RAID?

I might be interested, based in Bedford... Do you know roughly the cost if only 10 places were filled? That way I can budget for the worst...

I'm about to enable dedupe on my file server. Apart from compressed files, SQL and Exchange DB files. What other file types would you recommend excluding? I found one list but it was pretty much everything, which seems to defeat the purpose. It included pretty much all MS Office extensions... aac,aif,aiff,asf,asx,au,avi,flac,m3u,mid,midi,mov,mp1,mp2,mp3,mp4,mpa,mpe,mpeg,mpeg2,mpeg3,mpg,ogg,qt,qtw,ram,rm,rmi,rmvb,snd,swf,vob,wav,wax,wma,wmv,wvxaccdb,accde,accdr,accdt,docm,docx,dotm,dotx,pptm,potm,potx,ppam,ppsx,pptx,sldx,sldm,thmx,xlsx,xlsm,xltx,xltm,xlsb,xlam,xllace,arc,arj,bhx,bz2,cab,gz,gzip,hpk,hqx,jar,lha,lzh,lzx,pak,pit,rar,sea,sit,sqz,tgz,uu,uue,z,zip,zoo,edb,jrs Can I include Office files in my dedupe? Thanks

Are there any files types you should exclude from dedupe? i know about SQL and Exchange databases but any file like .zip etc?

That’s great. I was thinking when I created the rule “no one will ever type encrypted in the subject line unless they want to encrypt the email”.

I'm having the same issue! You don't have permission to view this message This message is protected and you don't have permission to view it. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

We're also looking at Satswana. I think that we've got a meeting with them soon to discuss, so I'll try and remember to update this thread with my experience.

I too would be interested in a ballpark figure Also... what is SNLM?

Fair enough. But at least you can honestly say you did everything you could’ve.

Thanks for this! I have question though... Why don't you need to implement this?

I just had a quote from JANET and it was astronomical! Almost as much as we pay county but without the AV and Filtering! Does anyone else have any suggestion?
