OMATEK VENTURES DISTRIBUTION LIMITED




PRESENT TECHNICAL PROPOSAL FOR THE

IMPLEMENTATION OF USPF SCHOOL ACCESSPROGRAMME (SAP)




OMATEK IN PERSPECTIVE

We are an Information Technology company based in Nigeria. The company started

business 21years ago and has grown to be one of the most reputable IT companies in

the country.

OMATEK is a fully indigenous Nigerian Computer Manufacturer with a Factory in

Lagos State and an IT solution provider specializing in the supply, installation,

training and maintenance of PC based computer systems. We are also active players in

the design of Local and Wide Area Networks. In addition, we provide bespoke

solutions tailored to meet specific requirements of our clients.

We have in our employ seasoned IBM/Compaq Technical Support Specialists who have

undergone several trainings at home and abroad. Through a unique combination ofskills and experience, we are able to offer data networking and IT services ranging

from consultancy to turn-key project implementation and operation. The company

recognizes and caters for the special needs of clients in various industries such as

Manufacturing, Education, Banking, Petroleum, Public Utilities and Security Services.

Our services enable clients to implement reliable IT infrastructure on which their

business operations can be dependent. The ability of an indigenous company to

provide IT services of international standards is of a strategic advantage in an

environment where excellence is only available at a premium.

The field of data networking and IT are characterized by the rapidly changing

technologies, which are leading increasingly to wide ranges of new applications and

greater efficiencies. It is this characteristic that fuels the demand for the above

services. Almost exclusively foreign-based companies had met the demand for such

services in Nigeria in the past.

The services rendered by these companies often do not address certain issues that

are pertinent to the country and the continent as a whole and which had hitherto

inhibited the development of information technology.

The end result of such services that are devoid of local inputs invariably does not

fully meet the clients’ needs. One of these problems is their inadequate knowledge of

the local environment as it affects the client’s problem. Another problem is their




inability to maintain a permanent presence of key technical staff that could be relied

upon for on the spot assistance in the event of sudden or unexpected problems.

As a systems company, we are dedicated to expanding and enhancing our business by

offering superior products with the level of quality and support unmatched in theindustry. Our greatest strength lies in the high calibre of our technical staff that

responds professionally and dependably to our clients’ needs.

We have access to the specialized skills of leading experts in data networking and IT

to enhance its capabilities and to supplement its resources as may be required by the

client’s problem.

SERVICES OFFERED BY OMATEK

The requirements for an information technology service vary widely from one clientto the other and from one type of information technology system to the other. For

this reason, OMATEK provides a full range of services designed to meet the

requirements of each client. Such services include:

• Computer manufacturers

• Sales/Supplies

• Maintenance

• Systems Integration/Networking

• Computer Training/Education

• Website design

• Project Management/Consultancy

OMATEK provides information technology services to the government and private

sectors in Nigeria. The company places emphasis on the provision of services using

the industries leading products and providing a level of support unmatched in the

industry. This is underlined by a professional approach to providing solutions and a

policy of not just “selling boxes”. The focus is placed on providing services to support

IT infrastructure. OMATEK is an IT solutions company dedicated to customer

service.

The increasing trend towards automation in business and industry has created an

explosion in the storage and processing of information in electronic form. In the wake

of this explosion is an increasing level of integration of information technology

systems. We have looked at this development as an opportunity to widen the scope of




our services. We have thus responded by investing in the development of a realistic

capability in information technology.

Through a bold vision and the determination to be a leader in the ICT industry within

Africa and beyond, Omatek has consistently sought partnerships with institutions and

corporative alike across the country for the operation of Resource Centers wherecapacity can be developed and transferred, Research and Development into new

products and services can be attained, and the creation of the critical mass of IT

executives and technicians can be a reality for a bourgeoning industry.

Today Omatek has in place a compact Memorandum of Understanding with several

Institutions of learning scattered across the country and in Ghana with Resource

Centers within their campus offering diverse expertise and also serving as an after-

sales-service-center for all Omatek brands of products.

As part of its effort to create brand visibility and well as equity, Omatek has

embarked on the situation and operation of Chains of Showrooms referred to as One-

Stop-Shops. These outlets will retail Omatek Brand of products either as a subset of

the Omatek Group or as Franchise Owners on behalf of the brand. Currently locations

across the country have been identified and are undergoing renovations befitting the

vision the company intend to create with the initiative.

Having successfully created brand equity and also pioneering the manufacturing

process from CKD parts, the company embarked on the first of a series of

repositioning in 2007. Subsequently Omatek embarked on a strategy designed to see

it exit the Joint Venture initiated under the Small & Medium Enterprises Investment

Scheme; ensured it raised required capital through Private Placement that saw it

raising over N5Billion; ensured it gets listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange with

N2.9billion of the company’s share currently being traded. A new and publicly quoted

company emerged called Omatek Ventures Plc.

.Omatek Ventures Plc is currently a holding company comprising of:

• Omatek Ventures Distribution Limited

• Omatek Engineering Services Limited

• Omatek Computers Limited

• Omatek Computers (Ghana) Limited

• Omatek Ventures Distribution (Ghana) Limited




These subsidiaries are registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission in Nigeria

and Ghana as entities to further give impetus to the restructuring going on and also

further create sub-units that will wholly own the activities and deliver on the

mandates expected of them.

OMATEK SALES/SUPPLIES SERVICES

OMATEK in the Computer industry today is regarded as the most well stocked

Computer Company. We have been able to invest a lot of funds into stocking a variety

of computer products for retail and wholesale purchase. The ability to maintain this

high stock level shows the degree of our financial strength and viability.

In recognition of this fact, we have embarked on a massive engagement of re-sellers

and distributors nationwide to ensure our brand of products are received andretailed in every part of the country. We have also followed that with the situation

of resource centers to serve as service outlets responsible for the management of

warranty issues and any trouble-shooting encounters that may arise from clients use.

These Resource outlets are mainly sited in partnership with institutions of higher

learning to further boost our capacity to deliver service while enhancing the capacity

of the institutions to engage student in practical classes in line with their pursuits in

the ICT sector.

OMATEK MAINTENANANCE SERVICES

The benefits that accrue to any organisation as a result of a complete

computerisation Programme is indeed enormous and highly profitable in terms of an

enhanced business Processes and reduction in the cost of doing business. Same can be

said concerning this in Nigerian Educational Institutions. However, this investment

can only be guaranteed when you have a reliable and effective maintenance program in

Place.

Omatek recognizes the beauty of having a good maintenance culture. We believe that

any business organization that invests a huge sum in this kind of project like you are

about to do must have to put in place an excellent maintenance program in order to

optimize the use of such equipment.




Omatek provides two different types of Maintenance support viz: Ordinary

Preventive Maintenance (or Call Maintenance) and Comprehensive Preventive

Maintenance. The first involves quarterly preventive maintenance of the equipment

and response to call requests made by the customer. The Client pays for replaceable

parts or modules. The second involves the same frequency of maintenance but nopayment for replaceable parts or modules. The basic features of the general

preventive maintenance of systems include:

• Complete and total support of all equipment covered by the maintenance

agreement

• Reduction in downtime of faulty equipment and failure rate of working ones

• Backup strategies

• Software policies/security and Antivirus upgrades

•

Regular preventive maintenance exercise• Hardware/Software helpdesk support

• Disk Optimization

• Prompt and immediate response to service calls. To be based on the location

of unit

• Consistent availability of spares for replacement purposes

We have engineers who are competent qualified, experienced and dedicated to

provide your organisation with high quality maintenance support services. We shall

also attach a sufficient number of service engineers (software/hardware) to your

organisation to enable us achieve a short response time to faulty equipment calls.

This measure we believe will reduce equipment downtime and thereby enhance and

improve productivity at all times. We have a well-equipped service centre in our

Abuja office with sufficient tools and test equipment to provide maintenance support

services to your satisfaction. Upon receipt of a call/request for maintenance from

any user or through the Help Desk Support, OVL Engineers will:

• Make an initial assessment of the probable cause of the fault.

• Diagnose the fault and replace any faulty part.

• Upon completion of repair work reconfigure as necessary and test

equipment using the appropriate diagnostic tools in order to demonstrate

that the repair has been completed. Then, document the resolution.




• Obtain the user’s confirmation that the maintenance/repairs has been

carried out, using agreed procedures.

• Update the fault report and resolution records accordingly.

• In cases where the fault cannot be rectified immediately, a replacement

machine shall be installed for temporary use.

We will use the necessary tools, test equipment and materials to perform the

preventive maintenance service. Omatek will use the latest anti-virus scanning and

detection software programmes to scan through the computer memory and hard disk

drives. And if any viruses are detected the problem will be corrected immediately to

put the computer system in a functional status. Omatek will always consult your

organisation for a convenient time to carry out preventive maintenance schedule. We

will also use new diagnostic software programmes to resolve system malfunctionquickly.

REMEDIAL MAINTENANCE

Omatek will provide normal repairs, which we are obliged to carry out on computer

systems and other equipment on daily basis from Monday to Friday should any of the

equipment under maintenance agreement with your organisation breaks down.

If your organisation signs a comprehensive maintenance agreement contract with

Omatek, it means that all spare parts needed to put faulty systems in good workingcondition would be provided for by Omatek, irrespective of the cost involved.

We are also very much aware that time factor is crucial to providing maintenance

services, especially in a working environment. And for this reason therefore, we will

endeavour to always expedite action and resolve problems on equipment with

dexterity and dispatch. Omatek will also advise your organisation that all requests

for Saturdays/Holidays should be communicated to Omatek in Advance to enable our

service engineer’s in-charge of the account to prepare fully for such assignment.

REPLACEMENT AND PARTS AVAILABILITY

We would like to mention that for any maintenance service to be successful, the

service provider must procure genuine and high quality spare parts to fix equipment,




which will breakdown. Omatek wishes to inform you that we have in stock sufficient

quantities and high quality of the most frequent replaceable spare parts for the

equipment to be serviced.

We also want to mention here that the characteristics of open systems today havemade it easier to use computer parts and components almost in every system. The

compatibility and interchange ability of these parts have also helped the maintenance

of these systems at all levels.

MINIMUM REPAIR TIME

Our team of service engineers have been involved with Servers and PC-Desktop

maintenance, Local Area Network support services at our clients’ locations for over

the past ten years. For the past ten years, we have been engaged in resolving end-user problems relating to faulty, improperly configured or reconfigured servers,

LAN/WAN installation and PC desktop systems, Notebooks, PC peripherals such as

printers, scanners, plotters etc, and all associate hardware connectors, cables and

interfaces. Omatek will use these experiences to deploy scalable solutions on this

assignment.

We wish to state that we provide instant replacement unit for any fault we are not

able to resolve immediately where repair time exceeds 6 hours. The equipment will be

returned to its location after the repair is satisfactorily affected. This is an aspect

of our services that has earned us recommendations from our clients. We wish to do

the same with your organisation. We have been able to live-up to this expectation

because of our high stock level profile within the rest of the computer companies in

Nigeria. This is an achievement only very few of our competitors can accomplish.

In general, we follow the procedure highlighted below in rendering the support

services:

• Investigate the technicalities of the hardware fault

• Determine if the fault or request can be solved directly or if equipment

needs to be taken to the workshop

• Arrange for loan equipment if faulty equipment needs to be taken away and

the equipment cannot be repaired.




• Upon completion of repair work, reconfigure as necessary and test

equipment using the appropriate diagnostic tools in order to demonstrate

that the repair has been completed.

• Obtain the user’s certification that the fault is fixed.

PROBLEM ESCALATION

In view of our strong relation with our business partners, OVDL maintains a direct

link with the various partner channels throughout the world on problem escalation and

resolution. Our Engineers often network with ICT experts around the world to

resolve critical problems that cannot be resolved within the shortest possible time,

locally.

We would also assure you that the efficiency, effectiveness and strength of ourmaintenance service engineers would be on alert and made available at any point in

time for routine maintenance.

SYSTEMS INTEGRATION/NETWORK SERVICES

The landscape of IT is changing at ever-increasing pace. Computing power is

increasing so rapidly that the obsolescence of some platforms is now measured in

months not years. The need to share information and resources has led to the linking

of computer systems and peripherals devices in a layout called a network.

A Computer Network is simply a connection of devices that can store or manipulate

electronic data, interconnected in such a way that users can query, store, retrieve

and share information with each other. This network delivers information

consistently and reliably without the corruption of data. In short, the basic goal of

networking is to ensure that data is shared quickly, reliably and accurately. It enables

communication, device, data and application sharing and eliminates running from

machine to machine to transfer data and program using floppy disks.

Every computer network is subdivided into two – physical and logical network. The

physical part is the hardware, which comprises the wiring, network cards, computers,

hubs and all the other components that allows the network to function. The logical

network is the organization of hardware that results from the network software.

Simply put, it is anything that is not hardware. Examples are logical network

protocols. These are special ways computers have to communicate with each other,




just like a language. A properly implemented network can result in both increased

productivity and overall lower costs.

SUMMARY OF CORPORATE EXPERIENCE

Ours is a prudent and customer conscious company always inspired by the aspirationof the customer. To this end, we have achieved an envious record in timely project

execution and customer satisfaction. This is not to say that there has not been

challenges, but those challenges encountered in course of any project improves our

efficiency and delivery prowess.

Attached therefore are the copies of evidences of previous jobs done for which

you may which to confirm. However, below is a list of our references:

E-LEARNING PLATFORM FOR NIGERIAN SCHOOLS ACCESS PROGRAMME

INITIATIVE

An overview of the Omatek E-learning Initiative

Omatek e-learning scheme provides a platform to ensure that Information and

Communication Technology tools are deployed to schools/class rooms under a

carefully structured learning environment equipped with internet connectivity to

create a virtual connection between students and teachers.

This also involves the deployment of a robust content/curriculum as well as monitoring and

evaluation to ensure continuity/ seamless implementation.

The Omatek e-Learning scheme has been divided into modules for ease ofimlementatin and impact assessment.

These modules clearly define well thought out processes creating a homogenous

platform where the practice of teaching and learning can enjoy intervention by the




introduction of IT tools required to create an e-learning environment across schools.

Components that will make up the modules will include but not limited to the flowing:

1. Hardware

2. Software

3. Content4. Training

5. Monitoring & Evaluation

6. Connectivity

7. Establishment of Resource Centres/Capacity Building

A typical school deployment will involve the introduction of the above outlined basic

elements effectively creating an e-learning experience that will serve to further

deepen teaching and learning engagements while reducing concurrent costs of

managing materials and resources allocated to schools.

The 8”and 10” smartbooks specially designed for students and teachers in the

educational sector are equipped with robust Wi-Fi coverage of over 50 meters,

120/160GB hard disk space,512 and 1gb RAM respectively. They are equally portable

and come in various attractive colors. An alternative computer is the 15.4” laptop for

teachers/lecturers

Also available is the Omatek all-in-one compact PC which comes with a 15-17” flat

screen and has the CPU and monitor built into one. It is ideal for schools,

computer/ICT laboratories .The advantages of the Omatek Compact computer apart

from space conservation is that it has an option of being a touch screen irrespective

of the regular flat screen model. The Omatek Compact comes with 80GB HDD ,

Combined PC and CPU, Wireless Mouse, WiFi ready and its equipped with DVD writer

and it is for multipurpose use.

The internet connectivity via the V-SAT technology will provide hot spots around the

schools thus creating an enabling environment for teachers and students to deploy

their Wi-Fi for connectivity.

The Platform advised is Linux equipped with e-learning curriculum. Another

alternative is the Microsoft Starter Pack.




The Teach the Teacher training is a significant part of the scheme. However, the

need for central monitoring and evaluation cannot be overemphasized.

A storage room will be required in each location, equipped with Omatek Power

Inverter for recharging purposes. It is pertinent to note however, that students andteachers with the Omatek 8” & 10” smartbooks equipped with GPRS cards will enjoy

the benefit of internet connectivity anytime, anywhere.

This proposal will serve to outline synergies required to deploy that unique learning

environment while defining the relationships of all actors within the institution that

will have significant bearing on the operability of the e-learning platform.

Omatek is equipped for the initiative with funding arrangement with our bankers

structured under the e-Xpress initiative which we believe has not been fully utilizedbased on the various options of facilities available to be explored.

The Omatek factories in Nigeria and Ghana will guarantee quality production,

empower the youths, create employment opportunities; encourage technology

transfer/Research & Development.




Under the scheme, the Head of Service in each state of the federation signs an

undertaking to make monthly salary deductions from Civil/Public Servants,

Teachers /Lecturers and remit a check-off payment to Omatek. However, the

government will be required to pay on behalf of the schools.

Students also have the opportunity of making installmental payments based on

guarantee by their parents or by spreading the cost of rentals on their school fees

over a period of two years/sessions

Omatek is committed to bridging the digital divide in Nigeria and this initiative is a

demonstration of our strong support for the future of the country’s educational

sector.

CONTENT DEPLOYMENT OVERVIEW

The emergence of distant/e-Learning in the mid 1970's has revolutionized the way

and method courses are been delivered today. However, issues such as delivery

platforms, educational contents, pedagogical and epistemological concerns were notproperly addressed. Today’s e-Learning course management platforms have come a

long way to address some of these pertinent issues.

For the Nigerian schools access program initiative, Omatek will design, build, deploy

and maintain a flexible, scaleable and comprehensive e-learning solution for Nigerian

schools (Primary/JSS/SSS). This in addition will augment the face to face type of

interaction (Teacher/Student)

This solution will be driven on Omatek laptops and Mission Critical Servers as

specified. (Nigerian Primary/Secondary educational contents fully integrated into it).

Omatek e-learning solution will fully address pedagogical and epistemological issues as

it relates to children’s learning styles. Omatek solution will be based on social

constructionist pedagogy. It takes into account different learning styles and the

Introversion and Extroversion of children. Collaboration among students is a key

feature in this solution.

Fully integrated, the solution will allow teachers to track and fully control what

students see and do. Here are some of the features and benefits:

•

Broadcast and share any screen to the whole classroom

• Allow or deny the use of appointed applications

• Formulate and enforce policies to control use of the internet

• Lock workstations

• Distribute and collect documents

• Perform online and offline tests with instant feed back

• Track students performance in class




• Prepare lesson plans and assignments at home without installing additional

software

• Prepare for class, teach your students, evaluate their work, and control their

usage in one simple solution

• Works well in an interactive whiteboard environment

Overall design

Omatek e-learning solution is a modular object-oriented dynamic learning environment

featuring the following:

• Promotes a social constructionist pedagogy (collaboration, activities, critical

reflection, etc)

• Suitable for 100% online classes as well as supplementing face-to-face learning

• Simple, lightweight, efficient, compatible, low-tech browser interface

• Easy to install on almost any platform that supports PHP. Requires only one

database (and can share it).

• Full database abstraction supports all major brands of database (except for

initial table definition)

• Course listing shows descriptions for every course on the server, including

accessibility to guests.

• Courses can be categorised and searched - one e-learning site can support

thousands of courses

• Emphasis on strong security throughout. Forms are all checked, data validated,

cookies encrypted etc

• Most text entry areas (resources, forum postings etc) can be edited using an

embedded WYSIWYG HTML editor

E-Learning Site management

Satellite Internet Connectivity

The school access mesh network will be connected to the internet as depicted via a

dedicated C-Band satellite connectivity with a throughput of 256kbps Tx and

384kbps Rx.

The following equipment will be required to set-up this link:

1.8m Channel Master, Patriot, or Prodelin Dish with feed assembly.

LinkStar Satellite Modem.

NJT 5 watts Block Up

Converter (BUC)

Low Noise Block (LNB)

RG6 and LMR400 Cables withconnectors 10m each.

Mounting Pole 3.5inch Diameter

and 10ft length.

1.8 meter Patriot C-band Dish




The Patriot single and dual optics antennas are excellent for VSAT applications and

hold an Intelsat Type-Approval. With a past history of use in high quality SNG

(Satellite News Gathering) applications, the 1.8m antenna provides a level of surfaceaccuracy, rugged stiffness, and precision not often found in similarly priced

products. The stamping process that produces the solid metal reflector results in

superior surface accuracy and repeatability. The steel back structure adds strength

and stability to the system and keeps the installation process simple.

The Navigator Style Azimuth and Elevation cap reduces pointing errors during

installation, allowing more accurate boresighting on the satellite. Increased pointing

accuracy leads to greater link availability. Special packaging techniques are

employed for every system shipped to protect the surface of the dish.

LinkStar Satellite Modem.

LinkStar™ is the highest performance, star-based VSAT system for service

providers, ISPs, and corporate network managers who are seeking a system based on

DVB standards. LinkStar's edge is in its dynamic bandwidth allocation that makes it

more efficient and faster than other TDMA systems. Terminals can transmit data to

the network hub at speeds up to 1.15 Mbps, with data downloads of up to 60 Mbps,

satisfying bandwidth-intensive applications using IP data.

LinkStar offers several benefits:

• The highest return channel rate on the market

• Rate-based operation that increases your data throughput




• Guaranteed information rates for each network location

• Lower-cost terminals because fewer hardware components are needed and

volumes increase as markets expand

•

DVB standards based for compatibility worldwideLinkStar can operate over C- or Ku-band frequencies, and is scalable to small or

large networks. A Web-based NMS makes it simple to operate and easy to

configure.

LinkStar Broadband Applications:

• Internet access

• Digital media streaming

• Videoconferencing

• Distance education

• File transfer

• Multicasting

• Virtual private networks

Network Security

The School Guardian

Integrated Firewall and Web Content Filtering Solution

How Guardian Works

School Guardian is installed between the Internet router and the school network to

protect from external attack, filter all web traffic and control what Internet

services can be accessed by students and staff.




With today's web consisting of tens of billions of pages, content-based filtering is

the only reliable way to protect against the unexpected. Guardian employs a widerange of intelligent content-based filtering techniques to control web access and

protect users. The diagram below illustrates how these different techniques

interact with each other - and your policy settings to accurately block all undesired

material.

Dynamic Content Analysis™ technology is used to screen the content, context and

construction of web pages in detail. In this way, all inappropriate, objectionable and

dangerous content can be detected and blocked, as well as the Anonymous Web

Proxies that students often use to circumvent web filters. Sites are classified into

categories and then blocked or allowed based on your policy settings. All thishappens instantaneously, thanks to an intelligent algorithm that is capable of

scanning an entire encyclopedia in just a fraction of a second.

URL Filtering

Guardian's intelligent filtering technology is backed up by URL blocklists, which

incorporate content from the Internet Watch Foundation database and are

updated on a daily basis. Blocklists can be configured to operate in Whitelist mode

where a Group of Users can be restricted to only being able to view a pre-

configured list of web sites.MIME File Type and Extension Checking

Every file can be identified from its MIME type property, allowing Guardian to

block the download of music, video and executable files from web sites. This is a

far more reliable technique than checking the file extension which is often forged




to disguise dangerous files containing Spyware or Trojan Horse programs.

Anti-Virus Scanning

Files downloaded from web sites are not scanned by most anti-virus software, which

provide email rather than web security. Guardian will anti-virus scan all suchdownloads, using either its inbuilt ClamAV engine or any ICAP compliant anti-virus

engine running on an external system.

Malicious Code

Guardian detects and removes in-page executable code from web pages, such as

Active-X controls, Java Applets and Scripts. Such executable code is not

recognized by traditional anti-virus software, yet is often used to install spyware,

viruses and Trojan horse software on user PCs. Sites that legitimately use

executable code, (such as Microsoft's use of ActiveX in their Windows Update

facility), are catered for by the provision of a Trusted Sites list which can be

maintained by the system administrator.

Exploit Detection

When security vulnerabilities are discovered in web components like Microsoft's

Internet Explorer browser, there is a window in time between discovery and fix

when everybody is extremely vulnerable to attack. Guardian closes this vulnerability

window by detecting and blocking such browser exploits, protecting systems until

the security updates are available.

Mailicious URL Detection (Anti-Phishing)

Malicious URL detection helps to prevent users falling victim to phishing scams,

where they are directed to bogus websites by emails containing spoof URLs that

appear to come from banks and other legitimate senders.

PICS Code Checking

The Guardian software checks all received web pages for the presence of PICS

codes (Platform for Internet Content Selection). Many websites include PICS codes

in their web pages to indicate the nature and severity of the content. Guardianchecks for sixteen different PICS categories, including "Sexual language", "Illegal

drugs", "Violence", "Chat" and "Gambling".

Filter Groups

Multiple filtering categories and rule sets can be used to allocate different access




rights and restrictions to different groups of users, for example teaching staff,

administrative staff, junior and senior students. Filter rules can be time-controlled

(e.g. different rules for lunchtime) and particular users can be configured to not be

subject to any filtering.

User Authentication

Guardian's User Authentication integrates with existing authentication systems

such as Microsoft Active Directory®, Novell eDirectory™, LDAP and RADIUS to

determine user identity and thus set appropriate filtering policies. User

authentication also makes reports much more useful by the inclusion of user names

rather that just workstation IP addresses, for both user and group activity

reporting.

Reporting and Logging

All web browsing activity is recorded to an SQL database that can be either be

viewed on screen or exported for external analysis. Instantaneous activity

(including Instant Messaging applications) is monitored in real time using AJAX logs

and traffic graphs. An extensive range of detailed report templates can be utilized

to show anything from 'most visited domains' and 'top blocked categories' to time

spent browsing and bandwidth utilization. Where authentication is enabled, reports

can also be customized by user or group so that the worst offending students (in

terms of requesting pages that were blocked by Guardian) can be quickly identified.

Reports can be automatically scheduled and stored in familiar formats (PDF, HTML

and Excel) or exported to Crystal Reports®

Proxy Cache

The Web Proxy Cache reduces Internet bandwidth utilization by storing and

retrieving frequently accessed web pages from local disk storage. Configuration

options allow the cache performance to be optimized for the environment in which

it is being used, along with the facility to prevent particular domains from being

cached, either because they are subject to frequent change or for security

reasons. The logic remembers "clean" pages (i.e. pages that have already been

checked by Guardian) for 15 minutes so that if somebody else asks for the samepage again then Guardian does not need to re-scan the page.

The "Site Blocked" Page

The "Site Blocked" page can be customized with your own message and if necessary

can include buttons to unblock the page, either permanently or on a temporary




basis. Other information displayed can include the IP address of the user, their

Login name, the reason for blocking, the page score, configurable text messages

and school logo.

BUSINESS CONTINUITY PLAN
