Industry Solutions: Education Networks

Driven by competition and high-bandwidth applications, education and research institutions have a greater need than ever for high-performance networks. Internet-based learning increases network demands as general budgets decline, and hundreds of schools, community colleges and universities worldwide have partnered with NHR to stretch their budgets without sacrificing best-in-class technology.

Network Backbone: With the Web, e-mail, IM and streaming video now standard modes of communication between students and teachers, and legislations increasing administrative demands for business intelligence applications, education networks need a scalable high-performance core. NHR puts high-performance in your budget.

IP Telephony: The specter of violence and disaster has put emphasis on the need for consistent and updated communication systems throughout school systems. Many are turning to VoIP with NHR’s extensive inventory of used Cisco IP phones at more than half off manufacturer prices.

Remote Locations: Upgrade routers in classrooms and remote locations at a fraction of manufacturer costs. NHR also offers an affordable maintenance program ideal for protecting edge or access level equipment.

Extended Upgrade Cycle: NHR continues to provide and support equipment beyond manufacturer end-of-life dates. Eliminating forced upgrades and extending upgrade cycles from three to five years dramatically reduces costs, allowing organizations to shift funding to other critical student services.
