Case Study: Sunway University achieves better bandwidth management and application visibility with Sangfor IAM

Sunway University - Customer Case Study

Sunway University, a leading not-for-profit private university in Malaysia with over 26,000 students, was facing significant network management challenges. Their legacy solution, a Bluecoat PacketShaper, had poor application identification accuracy, lacked adequate bandwidth management capabilities, and could not generate useful reports. This led to poor performance for users and high operational costs for the IT department, which needed a solution that could handle their large-scale campus traffic.

Sangfor Technologies implemented its Internet Access Management (IAM) M9000 appliance. The Sangfor IAM solution provided superior application identification with over 4,000 signatures, robust bandwidth management that adjusted automatically, and over 50 types of detailed graphical reports. After a two-month proof-of-concept, the Sangfor appliance delivered stable performance for 20,000 concurrent users, enabling higher bandwidth speeds and providing tools for future needs like multiple authentication methods.
