Case Study: Lord Selkirk School Division achieves centralized WAN monitoring and faster problem resolution with AdRem Software's NetCrunch

Lord Selkirk School Division - Customer Case Study

The Lord Selkirk School Division, a 14-school K–12 district in Selkirk, Manitoba serving 5,000 students and over 600 staff across 680 square miles, faced the challenge of managing a distributed WAN with 10 servers, 1,600 workstations, core switches and 15 wireless links without any centralized monitoring. With critical dependence on network uptime for classroom instruction and administration, the IT team needed a lightweight, quick-to-deploy tool that could visualize the network, reduce remote site visits and speed problem diagnosis.

They implemented AdRem NetCrunch, which deployed in minutes and provided agentless, graphical monitoring with real-time maps, 24-hour polling and flexible proactive alerts (email/SMS/SNMP). Centralized diagnostics let technicians locate and fix outages remotely, cutting detection/isolation/resolution time roughly in half, reducing travel to sites and improving network performance and classroom/administrative availability.
