Case Study: Lord Wandsworth College achieves proactive network monitoring with Paessler PRTG

Lord Wandsworth College masters the network with PRTG Network Monitor

Lord Wandsworth College, a co-educational independent school in Hampshire, England, needed a better way to monitor its large, distributed campus network and devices. Before using Paessler AG’s PRTG Network Monitor, the IT team often learned about issues only after staff submitted helpdesk tickets or called for support, and even routine problems like printer toner shortages could disrupt teaching across the 1,200-acre site.

Paessler AG implemented PRTG Network Monitor to track printers, photocopiers, servers, access points, switches, and remote environmental conditions, with over 2,700 sensors deployed across the school network. The solution enabled proactive monitoring and faster response, reducing downtime and support calls, improving IT efficiency and user experience, and helping the college resolve issues before users noticed them.
