Case Study: Rochester School Department secures BYOD and saves $100K with SonicWall

Rochester School Department secures BYOD with SonicWall

Rochester School Department needed a cost-effective way to secure a bring-your-own-device (BYOD) initiative that would enable flexible, cloud-based collaboration while lowering IT equipment costs. The district turned to SonicWall and its wireless/network security offerings—including SonicWall NSA Series firewalls, SonicPoint access points, and SonicWall Content Filtering Service—to address these requirements.

SonicWall deployed NSA Series next‑generation firewalls, SonicPoint access points, and Content Filtering Service across 11 locations, extending wireless range and safely enabling student BYOD. The solution lowered IT costs, saved about $100,000 versus a competing bid, sped implementation by four months, reduced additional equipment and training expenses, and provided content filtering to protect students from dangerous or inappropriate websites.
