St. Hugo's School Firewall and Web-server

St. Hugo's School in Bloomfield Hills contracted Macro Connect to purchase and implement a new Firewall and Web Server.

Situation: St. Hugo's administration wanted to improve their technology infrastructure to better control the web content available to students, but their existing system couldn't accomplish the task.

Solution: Macro Connect purchased and installed a new Firewall and Web Server. Macro then restricted students' access to offensive or inappropriate web content.

Benefits:
  • Firewall
    • Increased Security
    • Ability to block undesired content including explicit sites and MySpace (while allowing teachers and administrators to access restricted sites for monitoring purposes)
    • Complies with Federal regulations
  • Web Server
    • Increased Security
    • Ability for more users to sign on simultaneously

Alternate application: Firewalls and Web Servers have applications for almost any business. Businesses with their own server can host their own multi-page web site and strictly control the content available to employees over the internet, helping to increase web traffic and cut down on wasted time.
