(901 13th St. South) • Provides network and telephone services • Serves Academic buildings and Residence Halls

  6. IT Equipment Environment- proposed • Expand West IT site space • Current space cannot accommodate future growth in this area of the UAB Campus • Distribute IT services more evenly between the Central and West IT site • Redundancy of services in case of disaster • Upgrade the UAB Telephone System • New architecture upgrade will allow fail over between the West and Central IT sites for disaster recovery purposes • Expansion to accommodate growth of the UAB campus and Medical Center • Existing Nortel Switch will remain in tact with software upgrade to protect UAB’s investment

  7. Next Steps • Review by Physical Properties Committee in September • Approval to proceed with the architect/engineer selection • Develop specifications and requirements for a competitive bid process for the telephone system upgrade
