Keep a tab on the digital classroom experience with Aruba User Experience Insight (UXI)

Gain real-time visibility into education and gaming related applications from student’s and staff’s perspective

Aruba UXI’s unique approach to experience management consists of sensors and an extremely user-friendly intelligent dashboard. You can think of UXI as your remote technician continuously testing network performance from a student’s and staff’s perspective 24/7; alerting those who need to know when priority applications or services are not reachable or when network performance drops below the SLA levels.

Sensors are deployed in classrooms, libraries, cafés, auditoriums, hallways, and other strategic places where users are present and trying to access applications and network services. These sensors onboard ANY wired or wireless network like an end user, and continuously test for application load, coverage, reachability, responsiveness, and performance on the network.

When something goes wrong, UXI provides a very usable, detailed triage report of latency, jitter, packet loss, etc. This performance analysis is displayed on the UXI dashboard that alerts IT about any issues before users are impacted.

Having the visibility and understanding about what parts of the network truly need to be addressed provides schools the tools needed when strategizing technology needs to maximize E-rate funding.

 Aruba UXI is helping K12 to:

  • Adhere to state mandates for online testing.
  • Quickly troubleshoot network issues without being there.
  • Reduce helpdesk tickets with proactive incident detection.
  • Perform back-in-time data analysis to easily validate network change impacts.
  • Baseline and trend network and application performance.
