The Challenge
• Bainbridge Island School District faced the challenge of monitoring a complex network: a central data center and 35 data closets for 9 schools and 11 facilities
• Frequent storms caused power flickers that resulted in a flood of emails, making it "hard to sort through all those and make sure that everything came back online safely"
• Limited resources further complicated monitoring and response efforts

Customer Testimonial
"All of this makes life much easier for me on and off hours. It helps to keep me less tethered to my office. When we are hit by a storm, I only need to spend a minute on my phone and no longer need to set up a laptop, and fight for remote access to the network. That gives me more time to spend with my own family."
