Case Study: Denton Independent School District achieves 10% bandwidth savings and reliable online testing with Exinda

Denton Independent School District Protects Bandwidth Investment With Exinda

Denton Independent School District, a fast‑growing North Texas district serving over 31,000 students across 42 sites, relied heavily on cloud apps and online testing and feared its 2 Gbps connection wouldn’t keep pace as new schools opened. IT needed clear visibility into what was consuming bandwidth and a way to control users bypassing web filters via VPNs and high‑bandwidth apps.

The district deployed an Exinda Network Orchestrator 8000 to gain layer‑7 visibility and enforce policies. IT quickly identified and blocked VPNs and high‑bandwidth apps (streaming and IM), prioritized online testing, and reclaimed more than 10% of bandwidth. The result: improved test reliability, fewer help‑desk calls, maintained CIPA compliance and confidence the 2 Gbps link will suffice longer despite rapid growth.
