The funding will provide for a new containerized datacenter, new network edge and distribution switches, and new indoor and outdoor wireless access points. These improvements to the network infrastructure will decrease network downtime and prolong equipment life by providing an adequate physical environment for servers and other critical computer hardware. Additionally, 130 new network edge and distribution switches will be installed across campus, which will greatly improve network speed and provide wireless and wired capabilities with state-of-the-art technology in the most needy buildings on campus. A reception will follow the press conference. |
