Network Services for Educational Institutions

Reliance Globalcom's solutions allow professors, students and institutions to connect more easily for an enhanced teaching and learning experience. Reliance Globalcom makes the business of education simple, using technology that meets the dynamic needs of universities, colleges, and other educational facilities.

 

Technology has helped transform the way information is researched and presented, as well as the way professors, students and institutions interact on a daily basis. With Reliance Globalcom's network connectivity, information can be shared like never before. Universities can deliver distance learning programs to students in remote locations around the globe, while students can connect to university networks to access course materials and reach their peers. Reliance Globalcom's scalability allows your institution to adjust bandwidth to meet your fluctuating needs, such as registration and tuition payment periods that demand greater bandwidth. Plus, our network reliability and security ensure that information is safe, secure, easy to manage and accessible at all times.

 

Scalability
Bandwidth is available in 1 Mbps increments, from 1 Mbps to 1 Gbps. Scale bandwidth to support seasonal changes in requirements in real-time with Yipes OnDemand, available via the YipesCARE customer portal or a call to Reliance Globalcom's Global NOC.

 

Fully-Managed
Reliance Globalcom's solutions include the network, equipment, provisioning, equipment maintenance, real-time performance monitoring, and end-to-end troubleshooting. Manage all your network needs through the YipesCARE customer web portal or engage our highly-trained Global NOC personnel. Reliance Globalcom's fully-managed service allows you to focus on improving education programs, instead of worrying about the network.

 

Reliability
Reliance Globalcom provides industry-leading service level agreements that guarantee a high level of service for your network, ideal for rolling out network-based applications to your university community such as eLearning initiatives and online electronic payment services. Reliance Globalcom's Self-Healing Ethernet Network, built on proprietary technology and Ethernet Automatic Protection Switching (RFC 3619), provides sub-second re-convergence in the case of a network event. Reliance Globalcom provides 0% over-subscription for Reliance Globalcom's Managed Ethernet services.

 

Simplicity
Ethernet (IEEE 802.3) is a widely-used and well-understood networking protocol that is simple, stable and easy to manage for network administrators. Reliance Globalcom supports all Layer 3 networking protocols such as IP, IPX, AppleTalk, DECnet, IP Multicast as well as routing protocols such as RIP, OSPF and EIGRP. By deploying a network based on Ethernet technology that is easy to provision and manage, institutions can connect students and faculty across town, across the country or around the globe while reducing costs.

 

Agility
Given the flexibility of Reliance Globalcom's network connectivity, advanced features such as Class of Service, backup and recovery solution, and comprehensive suite of network management tools such as Yipes HawkEye^SM can easily be rolled out. This ensures that your investment is protected and your network will evolve as your needs change over time.
