Radware (NASDAQ: RDWR), the leading provider of integrated application delivery solutions for business-smart networking, announced today that Tongji University, China's famous century-old University, has deployed Radware's AppDirector as part of the overhaul of its campus network. This will ensure the high availability, performance and security of Tongji University’s campus network systems, and vigorously promote the digital evolution of its campus platform to stay ahead of technology curve.
Tongji University, a famous Chinese university with more than 100 years of history, is well known for its schools of science, engineering, medicine, arts and law. It is also the largest professional engineering university for civil construction. With more than 78,660 students and staff, the entire campus network covers 17 network systems such as portals, a unified identity authentication system, information submission, enquiry, management and verification etc.
Faced with increasing network usage and rising network issues including network overload, uneven traffic distribution and server instability, Tongji University identified the need to upgrade its entire campus network system, and build an efficient platform to support portals and core application systems. The overhauling of the campus network not only substantially improved availability and throughput but also enhanced the security and network protection of its Wide Area Network (WAN), linking the main campus and four district campuses.
Tongji University selected Radware's AppDirector 3020 to create a resilient, secure and highly available campus platform that could optimally provide continuous access to campus applications, which is essential in enabling learning and university operations. It deployed AppDirector to load balance servers and multiple Internet links, enhancing network throughput, increasing network bandwidth and relieving networking congestion among main campus and district campuses as well as reducing the cost of WAN links. In addition, Radware added its network security protection module in the WAN and Internet interfaces to further guarantee the security of campus network system.
"The response of our network system has significantly improved since the deployment of Radware’s AppDirector. AppDirector has helped us to vigorously push forward the evolution of our campus information system and set up a digital platform with excellent performance, stability and reliability, so that we can empower teaching and learning, as well as provide better service to teachers and students." said Fang Yuan, Deputy Director of Network of Tongji University.
Mr. Zhao Jun, General Manager of Radware North China said, "Radware’s AppDirector has enabled the campus network overhaul to achieve intelligent optimization of servers, traffic management & monitoring, as well as security and scalability.
