Agenda

1. UCDNet3 Telecommunications Plan and Related PrioritiesPeter M. Siegel, Campus CIO & Mark Redican, IETNovember 15, 2010

2. Agenda 1. Overview: Telecommunications Project • Planning and implementation (2007-today) 2. Discussion: Proposal to Improve Infrastructure • Upgrade horizontal wiring in buildings • $28.8M upgrade, 345 buildings over 4 years • Make systematic (vs. opportunistic) upgrades • Emphasis: improve research support • Need help identifying priorities

3. 1. Overview:UCDNet3 Network Project

4. UCDNet3 Network Project • 7-year Telecommunications Project • $22M project – accumulated reserves and augmentations • Approved in December 2007, upgrades began in March 2008 • Support research • Refresh/upgrade campus data network • Enhance security enhancements • Expanded wireless • Converge services • Support emerging technology and services • Emphasize open standards and flexibility • Does not address horizontal wiring

5. Data Network • Vision and Implementation • Scalable support for high bandwidth needs • Uplinks scalable – 1, 2, 4, 10 Gbps – upgrade as demand dictates • Supports 1 Gbps to the desktop, 10 Gbps to research space • Research network component • Improved redundancy, alternate paths, traffic engineering • Support converged / real-time services • QoS implemented to support VoIP, video-over-IP • Support cloud computing, on- and off-site storage, enhanced connectivity to regional and national networks

6. Data Network Network Utilization

7. Wireless • Vision and Implementation • Expand centralized service • Addresses fragmented wireless services • Standardized across campus, fast roaming • Initial focus on high traffic areas • Adding external mount antennas – cover traffic corridors • Student Housing – Wireless in Residence Halls • Managed Desktop Access Points • More rapid deployment, reduces costs • Monitoring progress on femtocell offerings • Pre-positioning cabling in conjunction with WiFi deployments

8. Wireless Today: 1048 Wireless APs Deployed Campus goal – 3,000 APs (including ResNet)

9. VoIP • Voice Network Vision and Implementation • Flexible front-end: ties together VoIP, analog, software services • Integrate Unified Communications services into campus Active Directory service (OCS) • Ties together current PBX, desktop VoIP, OCS and softphone services into one management platform for call routing • Transition off analog PBX • Flexible, open standards based • Can integrate or interface to emerging services

10. VoIP • Voice Network

11. Infrastructure • Status • Data network and fiber plant can support campus needs • Last 100 meters is the limiting factor

12. Infrastructure • Deferred maintenance of horizontal wiring • Older buildings have a mixture of cable types • Installed wiring breakdown: • 1% CAT-6a – 10 Gbps (emerging standard) • 59% CAT-5e – 1 Gbps (current standard) • 29% CAT-5 – 100 Mbps (outdated) • 11% CAT-3 – 10 Mbps (outdated) • Significant amount (20%) of active NAMs use CAT-3

13. Infrastructure • Deferred maintenance: Horizontal wiring • Units and research programs in older buildings disadvantaged with lower speed data connections • Impacts high speed research needs, access to remote sites and servers, data storage, desktop management, etc. • Wireless solutions – insufficient bandwidth and scalability • Affects approximately 60% of campus buildings (to varying degrees)

14. 2. Overview and Discussion: Proposal to Improve Campus Wiring Infrastructure

15. Summary • Upgrade CAT-3 and CAT-5 to CAT-5e in 345 buildings • Power, HVAC, pathway improvements where needed • Contingency • Design & Construction Management – project management • Selected upgrades for CAT-6a and fiber to research spaces • Not addressed – Telco room expansion (use renovation projects) • Timeline for upgrades – approximately 4 years • Estimated cost: $28.8M

16. Approach • Emphasis: supporting research excellence • Upgrade on a per building basis • Group buildings into tiers based on priority for upgrade • Academic units determine first tier • Identify most critical buildings – emphasis on research spaces • Dean- and/or faculty-led advisory committee • Determine composition of subsequent tiers, scheduling • Develop process and criteria for prioritization • Some flexibility – changes accommodated

17. Criteria & Indicators • Possible Prioritization Criteria • Locations with IT-intensive research (existing or planned) • Improve grant award opportunities • Upgrade locations, first with CAT-3 then CAT-5 • Tolerance for disruption • Technical Indicators • Percent assigned research space in building • Percent CAT-3 and CAT-5 wiring • Building size / # NAMs • Bandwidth consumption

20. Infrastructure Proposal: Recap • Upgrade horizontal wiring in buildings • $28.8M upgrade, 345 buildings over 4 years • Make systematic upgrades vs. opportunistic • Phased or tiered approach • Emphasis on improving research support • Need help identifying priorities

21. Next Steps • Deans’ endorsement of proposal and approach • Continue work with BIA to establish financial commitments • Develop first tier building prioritization • Bring proposal to key campus stakeholders • Obtain approval from campus administration • Charge Advisory Committee
