Purpose: Important Information
Audience: Headteacher/Technical Staff
Various
companies have been delivering mailshots to schools indicating their caching
products can speed up your network and deliver content filtering for Web
browsing within your school.
Please
be aware that Cambridgeshire County Council have implemented a
centralised filtering system (Protex) which provides a sophisticated mechanism
for filtering across all E2BN schools. This filtering system allows for the
addition of local filter appliances which integrate fully into this network.
3rd party filtering solutions are unlikely to integrate in the same
way.
A Web
filter/cache within your school will only speed up Web browsing and will not
have any effect on your local network performance; it has been noted that some
of the flyers being sent to schools may be misleading.

If you are intending to add
new network points onto your current cabling infrastructure, as mentioned in the
previous item, you need to ensure the work is carried out by a MOLEX accredited,
warranted cabling contractor to ensure your 10/15/20/25 year warranty is not
made void.
For any issues, advice and
guidance you may need, or if you are unsure of the rules surrounding the
acceptable use policy of CCN, please refer to the Schools CCN
