How Huntsville ISD
An NBUSA case study
The challenge:
Before NBUSA,
Costs were too high and growing
Cybersecurity needed upgrades
Spam was an issue
Bandwidth use was not accounted for
Only one network admin in the district
The Solution:
With NBUSA,
All-in-one appliance replaced five separate products
Managed IDS, IPS, and triple antivirus gateways
Anti-spam filtering built into the appliance
Real-time network monitoring & reporting dashboard
Fully managed service with remote updates and monitoring
The results:
Using NBUSA,
$35,000 saved in hardware/software costs.
Zero security breaches reported after deployment
30,000 spam emails blocked weekly.
Bandwidth upgrade justified with hard data.
Eliminated the need for additional IT hires.
“You don’t even know it’s there unless you need to make some configuration changes
and when I need a change, I open an online ticket and it gets handled almost immediately”
Tracie Simental, IT Director, Huntsville ISD
