KEMP Technologies Accelerates Website Efficiency for K-12 Schools and Universities
KEMP Technologies, a leading provider of affordable server load balancers and application delivery controllers, today announced continued success with universities and K-12 schools choosing KEMP products to deliver secure and reliable web access to students and faculty. Educational institutions looking for affordable solutions are selecting KEMP’s LoadMaster devices to meet the challenges of expanding delivery of web-based services, including securing applications, and managing servers to eliminate slow or lost connections.
TheHollandChristianSchoolsystem educates over 2,000 students each school year. Today, 15 online services are offered via a secure log-in, including Wikis, Blogs, school schedules, grades and other services. “KEMP’s LoadMasters have allowed us to secure all services running on our website for students, faculty and parents,” said Jim Peterson, Technology Coordinator of Holland Christian Schools. “We’ve been able to offer our students new online services as they start the school year due to our KEMP load balancers. The KEMP load balancers simplify any concerns about secure SSL, and make our website load balancing much easier and quicker to manage.”
KEMP’s LoadMaster products help eliminate traffic surges, server bottlenecks, connectivity disconnects and site downtime. This helps schools align their server infrastructure and application operations with continuity requirements to ensure applications are always available. KEMP’s LoadMaster enables them to maintain operations and services even in the face of a disruptive event.
Northcentral University offers 100% distance learning to students, which creates challenges in managing their web infrastructure. “We have been using the KEMP LoadMaster’s for load balancing all the University’s web traffic, as well as assisting with performing other administration and testing procedures on our servers,” said Jerry McArthur, Systems Manager of Northcentral University. “Since the first day we installed the devices, KEMP’s products have proven to be a very reliable workhorse for us. We have a lot of web traffic and almost 10,000 users to satisfy. It’s critical for us to have an application delivery controller in place that we know is reliable and doing everything we require without any issues.”
“We are seeing continued growth in this market for both K-12 and higher education to provide web-based solutions that ease access, and facilitate student and faculty administrative tasks,” said Kevin Mahon, CEO of KEMP Technologies. “This follows our recent announcement of Infinite Campus choosing KEMP’s load balancers as part of its hosted education management system for K-12 educators.”
