Case Study: Ceiba Public Schools achieves lower TCO and enhanced security with SonicWall NSa firewall

Ceiba Public Schools - Customer Case Study

Ceiba Public Schools, a small public charter school network on California’s central coast, faced a failing firewall and needed a stable, affordable network security solution to lower total cost of ownership. After evaluating options including Cisco Meraki and Barracuda, the district selected SonicWall’s NSa series next‑generation firewall to meet its needs.

SonicWall deployed the NSa between the school’s fiber connection and internal network to provide attack prevention, filtering and DHCP in a completely serverless setup; the easy-to-configure solution reduced IT infrastructure costs and total cost of ownership, improved data protection and regulatory compliance, and enhanced overall system uptime. Ceiba reports measurable cost savings and increased reliability following the SonicWall NSa implementation.
