Hancock Public School District 768 Stevens County Economic Improvement Commission, Inc. ( SCEIC) and Blandin Foundation Grant Information Amy Dougherty District Technology Coordinator
Grant Award/$7,000 What was Purchased? 1 HP 2910-AL 24G Core Switch for $1,799.99 and 5 HP 2510 48GB at $1,150.00 for a total of $5,750.00 *the additional $549 was covered by the Hancock District
1st Item Purchased with Grant • HP 2910 AL 24G Core Switch: ( Main switch for the entire school ) • for $1799.99 • Four 10.0Gb fiber ports and 24 1.0 Gb copper (Cat 6 ) Ethernet ports for core network • Layer 2 switching means VLANs sense what is plugged into each port. • Core Switch ( Center of Network ) with traffic prioritization. This allows us to give certain networks ( Admin / ITV ) priority over others (Labs ) as far as speed goes.
2nd Item Purchased with Grant • HP 2510 48G Port Switch: ( 5 of these connected to the Core Switch) • $1,150.00 each for a total of $5,750.00 • (the additional $549 was covered by the Hancock School District) • 48 ports of 1.0 Gb Ethernet • Auto-sensing on each port • we can plug in a computer, ITV, ip phone , wireless access point or even the security cams into a single port and still maintain separate networks on a single port. • Layer 2 VLAN with throughput at 70 million packets per second ( pps ) .... That's fast : )
Why These Switches Were Needed • Increased number of students • Increased number of computers and wireless devices in the district-iPods, iPads and Kindle Fire’s • Interactive white boards in every room • Increased security on the network • Without this grant, Hancock may not have been able to take the steps necessary in updating the infrastructure at Hancock School. This new technology will take us into a remodeled or a new building in the future. • ON BEHALF OF THE HANCOCK SCHOOL DISTRICT, WE THANK YOU FOR THIS GRANT
