Rite-Hite Corporation, headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA is a worldwide leader in the development, manufacture, and sale of loading dock safety systems and industrial door solutions. They have 29 sales locations and 1,000 employees around the world.
It was Peter Middleton's job to manage the network. The problem was employees accessing their business applications and occasionally sending large files, like data in Lotus Notes, to every member of the company. Just urging their employees to watch the size of their attachments didn't work.
Middleton looked at the big name bandwidth control appliance manufacturer, but with a big price tag and a manual big enough to fill three books, he decided smaller was better.
The installation proved to be just that simple.
“It's worked real well. It throttles the large web transfer while letting the other traffic go through,” said Middleton.
They have purchased two other units since for their larger locations.
