Saigon South International School (SSIS) is a private international school in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. With more than 1,050 students in early childhood through grade 12, the SSIS curriculum follows an American-style method of education with a focus on student engagement and participation.
With a vast campus spread across 6 hectares, David Perkin, ICT Director, and his IT team are responsible for managing the network at a campus with 3 buildings, covering three elementary school, middle school, and high school, as well as a large outdoor area and green space.
Their existing network was comprised of several different vendors, making it difficult to easily see a holistic view of their entire network. They were looking for a solution that allows them the ability to manage their network in one place.
With more than 1,000 students and 250 faculty and staff on campus, SSIS needed to find a new solution that would help manage their bandwidth and network traffic to reduce costs and facilitate learning.
Their existing firewall solution provided Layer 3 traffic shaping, but did not have Layer 7 traffic shaping - preventing them from controlling the bandwidth at an application level.
