Case Study: University of California, Irvine reduces network management costs and complexity with Netreo

Netreo Helps IT Administrators at the University of California, Irvine Reduce the Cost and Complexity of Managing Campus-Wide Systems and Networks

The University of California, Irvine, a fast-growing research university, needed a more cost-effective and manageable way to monitor its campus-wide IT environment. Its NACS team had been relying on shareware and homegrown tools to keep track of more than 3,000 critical network components, servers, and services, but these systems were hard to maintain and lacked the flexibility the university needed. Netreo was selected to provide centralized monitoring for the campus network and infrastructure.

Netreo gave UCI 24x7x365 visibility into network devices, wireless access points, core services, and servers, with alerts, dashboards, and historical data for troubleshooting and capacity planning. The university says Netreo helped IT staff detect issues faster, often before users noticed, while also supporting equipment justification and budget planning with hard data. Netreo was also described as easier to implement and use than other platforms, delivering better operational flexibility and value.
