Frontier Computer Corp Helping Schools Save Money by Utilizing Peplink Load Balancers

Many schools and educational institutions are paying too much for internet service. This is because most schools depend on just one service provider's Internet link. Frontier is helping schools across the country save money by implementing load balanced internet access utilizing Peplink Multi-Wan load balancers.

As demands for online video, VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) telephony, and video conferencing increase, so does the need for Internet Bandwidth. Peplink Balance Multi WAN Routers allow schools, universities and educational institutions, to meet growing demands by adding multiple low-cost Internet links, just as Cable or DSL, and even wireless, which reduces cost by replacing leased lines. This can as well provide increased speeds by combining multiple connections.

Frontier Computer Corporation has seen clients reduce their communications cost by more than 50% by utilizing the Peplink Multi-Wan Load Balancer Solution.

"By replacing our previous load balancer solution with Peplink, we have improved our internet uptime to 100%, whereas we were earlier experiencing several outages per month."

Island life brings additional requirements to IT environments. High availability is required due to seasonal travel restrictions placed on residents by the weather. The computer systems and internet must be reliable enough to survive a hardware outage which may last several days.
