Case Study: Point Park University manages network usage and costs with Paessler PRTG

PRTG helps Point Park University manage network usage and costs

Point Park University, a downtown Pittsburgh university serving nearly 4,000 students, needed a better way to manage growing network demands across its servers, switches, routers, lab PCs, and campus systems. With a small IT staff responsible for maintaining reliable access, monitoring usage, and controlling bandwidth costs, the university turned to Paessler AG’s PRTG Network Monitor.

Paessler AG implemented PRTG Network Monitor to give Point Park University centralized visibility into network traffic, historical usage trends, alerts, and remote troubleshooting tools. The solution helped the IT team quickly identify bandwidth saturation, diagnose issues faster, and make smarter capacity decisions based on more than four years of historical data, improving efficiency and reducing unnecessary infrastructure spending.
