Summary

SUNY College at Old Westbury’s Network is used by approximately 4,500 students and faculty, who log in each day using a wide variety of devices, any of which might contain malware that can affect network performance. The college’s IT staff needed to know when infected devices were causing problems for other users, and who these devices belonged to. A client-based approach to network access control was attempted but ruled out because it was too intrusive, among other problems.

Since installing the Riverbed® Cascade network performance management solution, SUNY Old Westbury’s network has been more resilient and efficient. Because the IT team gets early notification when traffic patterns deviate from normal and have complete end-to-end visibility into network performance down to actually user IDs, they have been able to resolve network and security issues that previously took days or even weeks to diagnose within a matter of minutes now. Since installing Cascade, there is no longer the need to dedicate a full-time IT professional to network monitoring.
