The Tertiary sector in New Zealand is dynamic and forward looking. Students expect immediate access to learning materials, the internet and eachother. They want to lodge assigments online and receive their exam results securely. Lecturers want to get materials to students in real-time, often in the middle of a lecture. Each lunchtime thousands of students might log on and download big presentations. This is fast, dynamic collaboration so the network supporting this all needs to be equally dynamic and bullet-proof. Bandwidth is big and services are centralised, virtualised and scalable. TelstraClear provide New Zealand's most demanding Educators with communications tools that even big business is envious of.
