VInet Intelligent Network for Education (VINE)

VINE - VInet Intelligent Network for Education is designed specifically for education facilities needing to balance the unique and evolving requirements of modern day schooling facilities. The solution provides schools with advanced, network-based security to dynamically control access to network IT resources based on a number of different parameters such as the user, the type of device they are using, time of day or any other vast set of criteria.

Using a combination of relatively new technology and communications protocols schools are able to operate multiple dynamic networks on a single consolidated set of infrastructure.

This solution is designed to provide;

• Students and Staff use of personal devices to securely access limited network resources
• Increased network security
• Reduced network infrastructure and management overheads
• Integration with existing Internet monitoring, charge back and reporting tools
• Full audit and logging history of users and devices on the network and their location.

When connected to the VINE, any unmanaged devices are determined to be ‘external’ devices (devices not controlled by the school) and dynamically placed on a network providing access to specific services only (such as filtered Internet access & use of printers).  All school IT assets (such as file servers, databases, other network devices) are segmented off at a network layer, providing an extremely high level of security.
