Cedarville University

To deliver the performance Cedarville now required, Hay sought the advice of Cerdant, a SonicWALL Gold Medallion Partner based in Dublin, Ohio, supporting over 800 customers in 20 states. “The challenges to network security for universities are often much greater than for other businesses,” said Mike Johnson, President for Cerdant. “The threats most often come from within.”

“An outsider might be surprised, but technology at Cedarville is truly top notch,” said Johnson. “They upgrade computers for every student every three years. A student can even check a Web site from their dorm room to see if the dryer downstairs has finished their laundry.”

“Cerdant’s been very responsive to our needs,” said Hay. “They really know what they’re doing.”

To meet Cedarville’s demanding standards and growing needs, Cerdant recommended a managed solution implementing a pair of SonicWALL E-Class Network Security Appliance (NSA) E7500 devices, configured in high-availability mode for automatic failover.
