Benefits
Your network provides the services and content users need to teach and learn. But with the power of the Internet come security risks, content concerns, liability and compliance issues, and management headaches. Total Traffic Control gives schools a single, comprehensive solution for managing, monitoring, and securing their network.
Helps you set and enforce Acceptable Use Policies - Total Traffic Control makes it easy to create rules for use of network computers, mail servers, and Web browsing. It also provides comprehensive reporting to alert you to potential breaches to those policies, and helps you correct or amend rules.
Keeps your network running smoothly. The performance of your network relies on access to network health and usage information. Total Traffic Control allows you to ensure the availability of critical services by giving you an easy-to-understand overview of network usage—and by providing you with the tools to manage traffic issues and bandwidth allocation.
Reduces exposure to inappropriate content. With spam blocking, Internet content filtering, and virus protection, you can ensure that your users, and your network, aren’t exposed to harmful content.
Blocks security breaches. A comprehensive database of viruses and malware detects known threats, while customizable program permissions allow you to stop even unknown threats—before they harm your network.
Allows you to conform to federal regulations. Total Traffic Control blocks offensive or harmful Web content, and archives all email and instant messaging communications, helping you effortlessly meet federal CIPA and e-discovery regulations.
Offers flexibility and customizability. Total Traffic Control provides the protection your network needs—without impeding the benefits of 21st century learning and efficient communication for which it was designed. Because every school is different, we give administrators the ability to adjust policies and databases on a granular level that ensures over-blocking and rigid restrictions don’t hinder your users’ ability to do their jobs effectively.
Provides an integrated solution - Total Traffic Control brings together Email Manager, Web Access Manager, Security Manager, and Network Traffic Manager into a single interface, providing an integrated, single point of management for your network
