Students and educators alike are accessing bandwidth-intensive online applications and rich media like videos and podcasts for educational purposes. Institutions must also deal with ever-increasing recreational (and potentially illegal) traffic that threatens to overrun the network including P2P file sharing and social networking applications. With Exinda, educational institutions gain visibility into the types of traffic and traffic volume on the network - even encrypted applications like BitTorrent. With a clear view of the top inbound and outbound applications, institutions can allocate more bandwidth to high-priority applications while minimizing the bandwidth allocated to recreational traffic. By providing control over network usage down to the individual user level, Exinda helps educational institutions conserve bandwidth and guarantee performance for educational and administrative traffic.

At Kaspersky Lab we believe that freedom and flexibility in corporate communications is fully compatible with airtight protection from contemporary security threats, such as viruses and other malicious programs, hacker attacks, spyware and spam. K-12 & Higher Education When it comes to security, schools have the same needs as any business. However, they simply don’t have the resources to pay the same cost as a business customers. Antivirus vendors like Sophos have lost sight of this reality, placing their emphasis on security, not the fact that they are charging as much as 3 times that of other antivirus solutions. Sample Quotation: (March 2009) Protection for 30 Window Servers using Sophos Antivirus $9000/yr, same offering from Kaspersky $3500/yr.
