An Intelligent Platform for Connected Education
With Cisco Borderless Network architecture, public sector organizations can connect anyone, anywhere, anytime, and on any device - simply, reliably, and more securely.
A primary component of Borderless Networks is the Cisco Unified Access solution. This helps IT organizations in education adapt to rapidly changing technologies, organizational needs, and their student and employee expectations with one consistent network fabric. Unified Access brings together networking, mobility, policy, and management and professional services. With its "One Policy, One Management, One Network" approach, Unified Access gives education IT the platform needed to make use of today's cloud and bring-your-own-device (BYOD) transformations. It helps to enable innovation, and a collaborative learning and work environment, and supports distance learning.
