We use Juniper Technology as it gives us the flexibility to support the high bandwidths required by current and future projects.

Enhancing students learning experience through technology

UK Higher Education establishments are facing an increasingly competitive environment when it comes to attracting high calibre students. With more and more students opting to study over-seas and alternative learning institutions attracting students away from an academic degree, it's more important than ever that Universities are able to offer state-of-the-art learning resources and information services to appeal to students and faculty alike.

Higher education institutions need high-performance networks to improve collaboration among researchers, faculty, staff, and students, and to support the deployment of new applications. With Higher Education already benefitting from JANET, Scalable Communications works in partnership with Juniper Networks, the technology selected for the JANET backbone network.

With over 10 years experience providing secure high-performance networks, Scalable Communications will ensure your students have the access to high bandwidth applications and learning resources at anytime on or off campus.  What's more this is done without compromising the integrity of the data or network security.

High bandwidth together with lower management and operational cost - now more accessible than ever:

  • Significant cost savings through virtual Chassis
  • Greater operational efficiencies through a single operating system 
  • Seamless integration through Open Standards
  • Integrated security services with minimal performance impact
  • Future-proof, cost effective platform for growth

As published in a recent survey by UCISA earlier in the year; 'Funding and sustainable resourcing of IT' came out as the top concern within the valid responses received within Education establishments. Please contact us to have an informal discussion on this issue and how we could help within your particular Education establishment.
