California drops Kaspersky Antivirus
July 2010
Major California School District drops Kaspersky Antivirus due to new version requiring more memory and higher then market comparable product pricing.
Merced School District in Central Valley, Ca. has used AAAntivirus.com since 2003, due to there expertise and knowledge of the Antivirus/Malware solutions available in the market place.
Situation:
Merced School District in Central Valley, California: The district comprises 30 work sites spread over approximately 1972 square miles, with more than 3500 computers in the system. Director, IT & Support Services for Merced School District, works with a team of five other full-time computer technicians. His team is charged with ensuring that email security, spam, spyware and virus control follow the standards set by the district, while maintaining high performance and efficient maintenance, not a small task with a limited team administering to a large number of computers located throughout a vast geographical area.
Challenge:
The amount of machine resources consumed by the prior antivirus/antispyware solutions for the district was becoming unacceptable, with little space left for users to do their jobs, which involve school administration, student administration and finance.
Like many school districts, we run several web-based applications which are dependent on machine and internet performance,
said IT.
This situation led us to re-evaluate software to protect the Districts systems, regain lost performance and simplify maintenance.
This is where AAAntivirus.com came into the picture, IT required an antivirus/antispyware solution that would offer significant performance advantages and easy, efficient maintenance for him and his team, based upon today's economy.
Solution:
IT deployed AAAntivirus.com solution throughout the district remarkably easily.
The very first test I ran showed significant performance advantages running AAAntivirus.com solution over other products,
said IT.
Here is what AAAntivirus.com solution has offered the Merced School District:
Quick and smooth deployment and administration got their first deployment up and running with AAAntivirus.com solution in just a few working days, giving them the ability to roll out the solution fundamentally from a central location, saving significant fuel and travel costs. Centralized administration allows his team to do daily checks of all protected computers, and then respond quickly and efficiently.
Simplicity of the operation allows AAAntivirus.com's solution to be run on the Districts computers while having little to no interruption on the productivity of the users.
Convenience of updates allows his team to centrally review current updates rather than keep track of computers, sites and update schedules.
Results:
With fast and smooth deployment, significant reduction in use of machine resources, outstanding performance, and efficient administration and maintenance, AAAntivirus.com solution filled all of the requirements the Merced School District had for a comprehensive antivirus/antispyware solution. The savings and efficiencies AAAntivirus.com solution brings to the school district are immeasurable, in a public operation always looking to cut costs and maximize funds.
I have been familiar with AAAntivirus.com for some time and what they bring to the table both from a security solution along with the financial saving that they provided us, helps our district run more efficiently for our IT Staff and Schools.
