Case Study: St. Joseph’s Academy achieves 600% bandwidth growth with Ecessa PowerLink

St. Joseph’s Academy increases bandwidth by 600% with Ecessa

St. Joseph’s Academy, a private all-girls high school, faced a major challenge when its need for bandwidth grew by 600% due to its one-to-one laptop program and increased use of streaming media and hosted educational applications. To solve network congestion and avoid expensive MPLS upgrades, the school worked with Ecessa.

Ecessa's PowerLink solution was implemented to load balance the school's multiple internet connections, including formerly standby cable links. This provided redundant inbound and outbound connectivity, ensured high availability for critical applications, and gave the school complete control over its DNS. The result was a reliable network with no user disruption during outages, allowing staff and students to focus on education instead of waiting for resources.
