Juniper Networks (NYSE: JNPR), a leader in secure, AI-driven networks, today announced that Kyungsung University has upgraded to a reliable, stable and secure networking infrastructure built on Juniper’s wired solutions, next-generation firewalls and HealthBot, creating a smart campus learning experience for its students in Busan, South Korea’s second largest city.
Especially with the ongoing pandemic, greatly increased speed and capacity requirements have been placed on the university’s networks, due in part to the significant bandwidth demands of remote learning. Data-intensive, high-definition lecture videos need to be hosted and accessed thousands of times, creating significant strain on the university’s existing network infrastructure.
To ensure its network could continue supporting a smart campus environment conducive to learning, Kyungsung University embarked on a project to upgrade its dated network systems to a new, high-speed and high-capacity network infrastructure capable of delivering an optimized and secure end-user experience for its students, faculty and staff. In addition, the ability to better integrate automation capabilities was also a key priority to allow for actionable insights translating into improved management and cost efficiencies for the university’s network administrators over time.
Juniper® solutions fulfilled these criteria and Juniper was selected by the university for the network upgrade. With its reliable, stable and secure refreshed network, Kyungsung University has unlocked a smarter campus experience for its students, faculty and staff members alike – powering seamless learning, teaching and management experiences, whether on-campus or off.
