New Update

National Institute of Technology, Rourkela with 2500 computer users have

multiple users sharing the same machine. Unmonitored and unrestricted Internet

access to students and other users at NIT resulted in heavy usage of

applications, resulting in a lot of bandwidth consumption alongwith easy entry

of threats. With limited IT budgets, NIT went for Cyberoam CR1500i appliance to

combat security issues. Identifying individual users and getting information on

their online activities even in a shared-machine environment is now possible.

New software versions are released every quarter and the upgrade procedure is

automatic, without requiring any manual intervention of the network

administrator. By identifying and controlling the user, NIT has complete

visibility and control over its network security. Besides this, total bandwidth

management and load balancing and gateway failover give NIT a strong hold on its

IT resources and their optimal performance. The only challenge that NIT faced

before the deployment was to study the surfing patterns and bandwidth usage

trends for users s and bandwidth usage policies in NIT's network.
