The following is the NATSHEL_BRAND“Campus Network Authentication & Billing Gateway”To develop the core, and taking into account our 21 years of experience in the educational sector, we will share three points of greatest interest to multi-school groups: unity, savings, value added.
01 Unified accounts, unified strategies, unified screens: real“Centralized management”Not a slogan.
Many group schools were the first to do multi-school unification, fearing two things: the old system could not be moved and the new system could not be pushed.
And...“Campus Network Authentication & Billing Gateway”The first value of the group scene is“Maintenance of school district identity and harmonization of core structures”。
The elements that can be harmonized include:
-
Unified account (back-to-back unified portal/ mission / OA/LDAP)
-
Uniform authentication (sMS, micromail, portal, no sense, APP, 2D code cleanup, etc.)
-
Harmonized set, unified costing model
-
Harmonize access strategy, harmonize bandwidth distribution, harmonize user drawings
-
Retention of the uniform log (group compliance requirements)
-
Uniform large screen display: online number, congestion point, authentication volume, billing revenue per campus
The parts that require the preservation of personality are also freely defined:
-
Temporary visitors strategy for a school district
-
A separate billing set for a school district.
-
Bandwidth adjustment (military training, admissions, examinations) during a special period in a school district
-
Network equipment of different brands in each campus
Multi-school centralization is not the essence.“One cut.”But it's a unified structure that keeps the flexibility.“Campus Network Authentication & Billing Gateway”It is the central platform for doing this.
02 The most painful pain of the multi-school network: congestion, difficult division of responsibilities, diversity of campus levels
The group information centre is most afraid:
“Which campus blew up today? Why did you blow it up? Who caused it? The local administrator said we couldn't find it.”
The project is a long-term development.“Campus Network Authentication & Billing Gateway”The value is multiplied several times, because it's built to be A unified, locationable, traceability-predictable network order：
1) Blocking Point Capable of Positioning
-
Traceable via IP, MAC, account number, building, AP, time period
-
Finds a dorm, a batch of equipment, some kind of App that triggers a lot of connections.
-
Suggest solutions: speed limit, flow control, tactical stratification, isolation, etc.
2. Clear Responsibility
-
Which account does it have to do with the time period?
-
What kind of terminal repeats, malware, P2P software?
-
The campus manager couldn't push the pot because the logs were all over the group center.
3) The system automatically runs through the horizontal differences of each campus
The 21-year experience of NATSHEL_BRAND confirms:
When the school area is not capable of carrying a different dimension, most importantly... Level of automation of systems。
The campus network Authentication & Billing gateway can:
-
Auto kicks the malign connection.
-
Automatically identify the big users of the net
-
Autodistribute bandwidth
-
Automatic speed limit, automatic black and white list
-
Automatically syncatically to campuses
In the multi-school project, it's possible.“The least-than-viable schoolyard.”And it's crucial that we don't lose the chain.
03 Group ROI: After unification, value is not only derived from“Saved.”And from“Add”
Many group campuses are on a unified platform with the greatest interest in returns.
“Campus Network Authentication & Billing Gateway”The ROI performance in multi-school districts is strong for three reasons:
1) Save money: Reduction of structural costs associated with system centralization
-
We don't need a big system in every campus.
-
No need for a professional network engineer in every campus.
-
Uniform procurement of hardware, bandwidth, text messages and software, with a marked decrease in prices
-
Group centre management, reduced manual cross-school commissioning
A lot of groups are on the line for their first year.“System Merger, Transporting-Dumped”And it's a way to save at least 30 percent of the transportation costs.
2. Making money: gains from the harmonized system of accounting
The multi-school complex has a large flow of people and users.
A unified system of costing would significantly increase stable income.
For example:
-
Accommodation suites harmonized (day/week/month)
-
Temporary visitor fees
-
Speed bag, temporary bandwidth package
-
Price harmonization among campuses to avoid in-house volumes
-
Bundling entitlements (e.g., cloud, printing services)
“Campus Network Authentication & Billing Gateway”The group is transparent and standardized in terms of the revenue it is responsible for authentication, billing, reconciliation, automatic deductions, charging, bills.
3) Long-term value: data harmonization brings management capacity
The group will have access to:
-
Use of portraits in bandwidth throughout the school district
-
Trends in student behaviour online
-
Differences in traffic between campuses
-
Certification success rate and de-lineability rate by campus
-
Which regions need APs and where to waste bandwidth
In other words,Unity is not about watching the screens look good, but about making decisions that are no longer perceived.
04 Real landing scenes in multiple campuses
A typical case:
5 campuses under the group, with a total of 26,000.
In the past, each school district used its own equipment, its own set of meals and its own way of certifying.
Online NatShell“Campus Network Authentication & Billing Gateway”After:
-
Uniform account number → Students graduate and enroll automatically complete
-
A single set. → Standardized fee-for-charge system, six months of income increase 28%
-
Unified strategy → The congestion problem has dropped markedly.
-
Unified → Clear lines of responsibility for the campus administrators.
-
The group center can see all campuses from remote.
The group information centre said:
It used to be five systems.“Drag.”Now a system runs with five campuses.
05 Why multi-school projects are better suited to the NatShell
NatShell is deep-ploughing in the WiFi certification field for 21 years, and it's been on its own.“High-synchronous, cross-regional, multi-role, automated”As core competitiveness.
For multi-school districts, we have three main advantages:
-
Very stable system.: Group projects must be steady and blown up if they are not stable
-
Extreme functional depth: There are too many details in multi-schools.
-
High value.: More cost than single-school area after multi-school unification
A simple sentence:
We are not making a system for a campus, but we are building an operational network base for the entire group.
