Case Study: Walton County Public Schools achieves tenfold faster internet and greater reliability with SonicWall

School district speeds performance tenfold

Walton County Public Schools, a U.S. school district serving 14,800 employees and thousands of students, needed a faster, more reliable network security solution after repeated failures with their previous vendor. The district turned to SonicWall and evaluated its SuperMassive Series to address performance and uptime issues while supporting heavy mobile learning traffic.

SonicWall deployed SuperMassive Series firewalls in high-availability mode along with SonicWall Comprehensive Gateway Security Suite and Content Filtering Service. The district saw measurable gains: internet speeds increased tenfold, the SuperMassive supports roughly 5,000 concurrent devices without strain, firewall change time dropped from 15 minutes to 30 seconds, and overall reliability and teacher satisfaction improved.
