Scope:
Assessment of Campus data network infrastructure and identify necessary upgrades and changes that will enable supporting future campus needs; specifically addressing wired, wireless, voice, and video networks. Design of a new network will account for the District’s needs specific to logical infrastructure for the next 10 years. Physical infrastructure will also account for the District’s needs for the next 20 years. The scope includes replacing network core switches, provide a more responsive support structure, preparing for cloud computing, and adaptation of voice over IP systems across the District.
