Case Study: Lawrence Technological University improves network security and traffic management with Plixer Scrutinizer NetFlow Analyzer

Lawrence Technological University - Customer Case Study

Lawrence Technological University, one of Michigan’s largest independent colleges and a leading fully wireless campus, faced the challenge of managing high volumes of network traffic across thousands of users and 60 virtualized servers. The university struggled with network noise, fluctuating response times, security enforcement, and difficult troubleshooting, including a denial-of-service incident that took hours to trace.

Using Plixer’s Scrutinizer NetFlow Analyzer, Lawrence Tech monitored NetFlow data from devices such as Cisco ASA’s, routers, and switches to improve traffic visibility and management. Plixer’s solution helped protect the university from legal exposure tied to illegal downloads, identify suspicious activity, and block potential malicious users, while also speeding troubleshooting and reducing the time needed to pinpoint network issues.
