When “the best thinkers in higher education technology” come to gather in one place, you can bet that network monitoring will be a top-of-mind security and technology topic of discussion.
We’ll be on-hand, and ready to talk all things critical to network reliability. So why should you take time out of an already packed EDUCAUSE agenda to carve some time out to visit us at Booth #2042? Consider this blog your permission slip.
Taking Attendance
For those attending, still considering attending, or just hearing about it for the first time, EDUCAUSE (#EDU24 on social media) brings education tech professionals and software vendors together to network, share ideas and best practices, grow professionally, and find the best ways to solve the most pressing ed-tech challenges today together.
Being one of the 7000+ attendees on their way to San Antonio, TX October 21-24, we want to thank you in advance for putting your institution’s technology and information security at the forefront of your priority list.
Expelling Higher Education Pain Points
So, what’s the deal with AKIPS? We understand what ed tech personnel are trying to tackle daily:
- Complicated learning spaces (read: network(s))
- Susceptibility to network outages (and locating those outages’ root causes)
Not only do we get that part of it, but we also have the tools, technology, and functionality to solve those issues. AKIPS’ technology quickly gets to the root of network issues in real-time by filtering the “noise” and analyzing all network data (HTML and beyond) without relying on long-term staff institutional knowledge.
How? By focusing on these 3 areas:
- Network visibility that is fast and efficient
- Alerting and reporting modules that help quickly identify the data most relevant to your organization AND deliver it to the right users
- Integration and customization that makes it easy to work with your preferred third-party applications (from Microsoft Teams and Slack to PagerDuty and ServiceNow. And yes, Splunk too!)
Like any good solution, though, we’re ready to show our work (math class, anyone?) and cite our sources (that one’s for the English class enthusiasts): See how AKIPS employed this strategy and mindset to reduce Mean Time to Repair (MTTR), Mean Time to Detection (MTTD), and other key metrics for The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
And this sort of solution/approach is completely attainable for your institution, too; you can find out how we can bring it all together – and hear about our learning experiences, partnerships, and more – for you when you stop by, you guessed it, our EDUCAUSE booth.
Extra Credit for Stopping by Our “Study Space”
Booking a meeting – and/or visiting our booth (#2042) – can open new doors to (1) making your institution’s network operations more reliable and scalable, (2) quickly isolating and resolving network issues with minimal downtime/latency/interruption, and (3) simplified network management in a user-friendly, intuitive interface.
And by booking a meeting with us in advance, you’ll also be entered into a raffle for a chance to win a LEGO® PAC-MAN Arcade (apologies in advance for some extra luggage that won’t fit in your school bag).
However you decide to plan your week at #EDU24, we wish you and your institution the best of safety, security, and success. After all, our future – and future leaders in your classroom – depend on it.
