Brand New Case Study – Caludon Castle School http://www.solutionshouse.ltd.uk/2011/08/brand-new-case-study-caluden-castle-school/ http://www.solutionshouse.ltd.uk/2011/08/brand-new-case-study-caluden-castle-school/#comments Mon, 22 Aug 2011 13:01:40 +0000 tina http://www.solutionshouse.ltd.uk/?p=2248 Instant Connectivity and ‘Everywhere Learning’ achieved. Extricom passes with A+ performance (unlike the competition).

Caludon Castle School chooses the Extricom Channel Blanket wireless solution to replace the failing existing Cisco wireless network.

With the simultaneous demands of both the student body and the staff network, the original Cisco wireless solution installed during the rebuild was faltering. The 3rd generation cell-based technology was unable to cope with concurrent connections required to get a classroom of 30 users seamlessly connected to the network without considerable delay and performance reduction. And the constant re-arrangement of the flexible seating set-up in one of the teaching halls also meant that the wireless signal became continuously intermittent.

Driven by the need to offer instant connectivity and ‘everywhere learning’ across the campus, Mr Paul Harvey, Assistant Headteacher at Caludon Castle decided to investigate alternative wireless solutions. The only one that made the grade? Extricom.

The cell-based units that they had been using were totally unreliable, and a permanent installation that would work anywhere in the school was urgently required. Turning to their local county council for advice on where best to find a solution, Upton High School was immediately pointed in the direction of the Extricom WLAN.  Enjoying a solid reputation for delivering reliable IT solutions in educational settings, Solutions House is one of just a few companies in the country that supplies and fits Extricom’s award-winning Interference-Free™ WLAN system.

How Remote Data Backup Works

Functionality

The Gigasoft software runs a daily fully automated offsite data backup of your important files and data.

After installation of the software you select the files and/or directories that you wish to backup.

Then after encryption and compression a full offsite back-up will be made from the selected files. These files are sent to the Gigasoft offsite servers for safe storage through a SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) connection.

From that moment on, a daily incremental backup will be made of all new and changed files. This is at a time of the day determined by yourself. Your data is constantly being replicated from our data centre to another secure data storage location to ensure that there’s always a copy available 24 hours a day, 7 days per week.

You can access and use your remote backup data at any time and from anywhere through a standard internet browser.

You will receive reports concerning data backup status, file sizes as well as an overview of all activities.

It covers Microsoft Enterprise software including Office Professional 2010 and Windows 7 Enterprise.

Microsoft will count full-time employees of an academic institution each year to set the subscription rate. EES will fall into two categories: for institutions with between five and 999 staff, and for those with over 1,000 full-time or equivalent staff.

What people are saying ….

“The Microsoft Volume Licensing Enrolment for Education Solutions (EES) offering provides qualified academic customers, of all sizes, a simplified way to acquire Microsoft software and services under a single, subscription agreement.”

Call our Microsoft trained sales staff today to discuss your license renewal options and how Solutions House can save you money to spend on other IT equipment on 01928 515600.

I would like to take the opportunity to express my gratitude to all those at Solutions House who have made, and continue to make, the installation of our wireless solution such a success.

It is obvious that Solutions House aim to provide the highest quality service and I have been very impressed with the way in which communication and support has always been honest, reliable and effective.  From sales through to technical support, the service provided by all representatives has been outstanding.

As a teacher embarking on significant IT development in a primary school, it has been a pleasure to deal with such conscientious and genuine professionals.  As a result I have absolute confidence that our solution will continue to be delivered and supported effectively and that we are obviously ‘in the very best hands’.

I am aware that Solutions House are hoping to establish links with other schools in Bolton and I would have no hesitation in making the very highest recommendation on your behalf.  I have already begun, and will continue to, sing the praises of Solutions House to other colleagues across the authority.
