School District Implements Cost-Effective Remote Access With FirePass From F5 Networks

The West Chester Area School District is one of the largest districts in Pennsylvania. Of late, the district upgraded its server operating system, which also prompted a look at upgrading the district's Citrix VPN solution. They wanted to be able to use a web interface for terminal sessions rather than the full Citrix client. To do this, they needed to upgrade to Citrix Presentation Server. The district thoroughly evaluated remote access solutions from a number of vendors and chose the F5 FirePass appliance recommended by its longstanding technology partner Comm Solutions.
