Faster Bandwidth
The Fortinet Library Solution exceeds the 80Mbps limitiation of current hardware, unleashing the potential for a more positive library experience. Depending on configuration and security modules installed, throughput is between 600 – 1500Mbps. Bandwidth can be split between staff and patrons, with patrons required to accept a WiFi agreement before given access. Content filtering can also boost bandwidth performance.
Content Filtering
Content filtering prevents access to content that could pose a risk to internet users or negatively impact network performance. It blocks access to content deemed illegal, inappropriate, or objectionable. It minimizes malware attacks, protects against exploit kits, boosts bandwidth and increases staff productivity. This feature makes your Library E-Rate and CIPA compliant.
Security Posture
This service helps to identify potential risks, along with recommendations to improve the overall security posture. It allows us to evaluate and proactively address any security vulnerabilities that could seriously impact your organization. It also provides insights into the network architecture’s performance capabilities, allowing us to understand capabilities during periods of high-traffic, while illustrating network needs and limitations.
