Case Study: Archdiocese of New Orleans achieves faster, more responsive PCs and reduced malware with ESET

Archdiocese of New Orleans - Customer Case Study

The Archdiocese of New Orleans, a private school district of 86 campuses serving 40,000 students, needed to secure and maintain 18,000 aging PCs that were struggling under resource‑heavy antivirus solutions. Faced with slow logins, high malware levels and limited funds to replace machines, the district’s network administrator evaluated vendors and selected ESET, deploying ESET NOD32 Antivirus — Business Edition for a low‑footprint, easy‑to‑manage protection.

ESET’s rollout proved faster and lighter than the previous Symantec/AVG mix, reducing server disk load, accelerating login scripts and times, and detecting undesirable software (e.g., MyWebSearch) that Symantec missed. As a result, the Archdiocese saw fewer help‑desk tickets, significant savings in man‑hours, improved responsiveness on older machines, and a more reliable endpoint defense thanks to ESET.
