Review on Ciena by Josh Endricko

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great technology and resourceful tool in terms of security

The ability to have two separate networks that are connected together using VPRs - Virtual Port Ranges has been very useful for me since I am working at an organization where there isn't much bandwidth available so it's important not over utilize our connections which can be quite expensive! It also allows us more flexibility when we need access from different locations around campus as well because you don’t always know if your workstation will still connect through VPN or just use standard internet connectivity without having issues like slow speeds etc.. There really doesn‘ t anything bad about this product but maybe adding features such time limits would make sense? Also perhaps being able expand some areas outside Virginia Tech or even other universities instead within only one location could help too!!
