Initiative Title | Network Replacement Plan |
---|---|
Submitted in Previous Year(s) | No |
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | There is a lifecycle and expected End of Life (EOL) for all technology equipment. Our switches, routers, Wireless Access Points (WAPs), and Uninterruptable Power Supplies (UPSes) are no different. There is an expected amount of time that these items will last before they begin to break down. In order to maintain a proper working and learning environment on campus, we must proactively replace equipment before it begins to be problematic. We are planning on beginning the replacement of twenty-three switches, two building routers, thirty-three WAPs, ten UPS batteries, and five UPSes every year. |
Consequences of this initiative not being funded | If this initiative is not appropriately funded, we will begin seeing the loss of connectivity across campus. This means that students, faculty, and staff will not have a reasonable expectation of being able to access online services in a reliable manner. |
