Solutions at Work: Education
"We determined ExtremeZ-IP was the best product to handle file and print services across multiple platforms. We have a lot of Macs, some Windows PCs, Dell and Apple servers, and two different disk arrays - Dell and Apple. All of our files need to be available to users across all of these platforms - And, everything needs to be totally transparent to the end-users. ExtremeZ-IP allowed us to do that without a lot of backend effort."

As an educational institution in the digital age, K-12 school districts and universities are challenged to provide students, faculty and administrators with a reliable, robust network that can support collaboration among a variety of users with unique requirements.
