Creating Your Ideal School Network with Ranger

School networks present some unique challenges for their administrators. Schools typically have an "Open Access" environment with:

• A constant turnover of users
• Pupils moving from one workstation to another
• Teachers requiring different access and facilities
• A heightened risk of accidental or deliberate tampering
• The need for a tailored, yet consistent, look and feel
• An ongoing need to demonstrate best value

Ranger sets the standard in providing a comprehensive, easy to use and cost effective solution to these challenges.

Ranger will benefit your school by reducing the amount of unplanned change, eliminating 'fire fighting', increasing system uptime, and reducing repair time. And it can help save you money too!

 

Three Key Elements

We believe that a consolidated approach to network management consists of 3 elements:

1. A secure ICT network, with the ability to easily lock down and control settings on all devices and automatically react to network events.


2. Solutions that speed up time consuming tasks and provide consistent configuration.


3. Real-time network monitoring that delivers actionable intelligence.

Addressing each of these elements, Ranger software delivers a truly integrated approach to creating your and managing school network.
