Connecting Branch Campuses
Multi-campus institutions need shared systems and policies. Here is how to connect them.
Many institutions operate multiple campuses: schools with several branches, universities with satellite campuses and colleges with separate hostels or research centres. Connecting them allows shared systems, consistent policies and centralised management.
Shared systems
ERP, LMS, library systems and email are often centralised. Branch campuses need reliable access to these systems.
Private connectivity
Private links between campuses offer consistent performance and security, avoiding the public internet for internal traffic.
Internet breakout
Each campus can have local internet for general browsing, while internal traffic uses private links.
Consistent policies
Apply the same security, filtering and authentication policies across campuses using centralised management.
Redundancy
Critical campuses should have backup connectivity to maintain access to shared systems.
Video and voice
Shared lectures, meetings and telephony benefit from quality connectivity between campuses.
Centralised IT support
Cloud management lets a central IT team support branch campuses remotely.
Scalability
Plan for new campuses with standard designs that make adding locations simple.
Cost management
Balance private link costs with SD-WAN and internet options.
