What’s the right network system?
Digital transformation in schools often comes with complex technical challenges. Many institutions find themselves juggling a patchwork of legacy systems, devices from different vendors, and a mix of school-owned and personal hardware. Staying on top of everything and keeping all endpoints up to date is a complex task. On top of that, schools face stringent requirements for their IT infrastructure—especially when it comes to handling sensitive student data. That’s why data protection and security are always top priorities. All of this makes life especially challenging for IT administrators.
The school in Kellinghusen was no exception. The move to a new campus gave the team the perfect opportunity to rethink its entire network strategy. With support from Dataport—a public IT provider serving schools and government agencies across northern Germany—network administrator Martin Münzel set out to build a solution tailored to the school’s needs. They chose Cisco Meraki for its comprehensive features and distinct advantages.
