About the Project Clark County, Nevada School District • Las Vegas Metro ~ 300 Locations several hundred square miles • Request for Proposals issued early 1999 • Ten Proposals Received • Initial Award to write project plan and complete detailed design • Second Award to Implement the Network
Was State Fractional T1 for data One or more T1’s for Internet High School, T1s for Voice Voice Videos Delivered by car Elementary, 4 POTs lines
Project Goals • Voice • Phone in every classroom • Internet • Increased Bandwidth to each school • Administrative Data Network • Increased Bandwidth to each school • Video • Delivery on Demand • abilties • Availability, reliability, affordability, usability
Design / Architecture Trade-Offs • Status Quo • Increase bandwidth of existing system • Telephone Architecture • SONET Rings, ATM Switches • Private Microwave • Ethernet Architecture • Dark Fiber, gigabit and 10gigabit Switches
Results • Gigabit fiber rings enables: • Voice over IP & on-net dialing • Data / Internet • Server Consolidation • Video Distribution
Voice • Phone in every classroom • VOIP Trunk Lines • On-Net Dialing
Data / Internet • All data traffic uses IP • Each network node at least gigbit backbone
Servers • No reason to have a server in the schools • Most servers in unconditioned closets • Brought all servers back into conditioned server farms • No truck rolls, backups nightly, skilled IT support
Video • Thousands of hours of instructional “tapes” on-line • Streaming video from several internal sources • Available bandwidth for nearly 1000 fold expansion
Summary • CCSD has the most advanced communication network possibly in the world • Faster, better and cheaper due to the vision of SAIC and the use of long term commitments for dark fiber
