On-going Risks to Technology
• Replacement Cycle– Need commitment for annual funding
• Technology Policies– Acceptable Use (AUP) for Faculty and Students– Compliance (IE: Electronic archiving)
• Scalability & Security of Infrastructure– Need to make infrastructure more resilient– Constant need to evaluate inside and outside threats.
Replacement Cycle
• So what’s the issue?– There is no line item within the Technology
Operating Budget to replace equipment or software!
• How do we address it?– Override?– Capital Funding?– Other?
Replacement Cycle
• Three groups of technology equipment and software are used within the schools we address when it comes to replacement cycle:1. Computer Room Devices
• Servers, storage, security & backup devices and proactive monitoring tools.
2. Wiring Closet Devices• Routers, switches and cabling.
3. Classroom Technologies• Computers, Interactive White Boards, Projectors & AV
Equipment, Administrative & Curriculum Software.
Technology Policies
• Acceptable Use– Guidelines for faculty and staff– Guidelines for students
• Supreme Court Ruling in effect as of December 1, 2006– Archiving of all electronic communications– Backups may not be good enough– Need to start by reviewing our policies
Scalability & Security
• Scalability– Need to handle bursts of traffic– Use and implement proactive monitoring tools
• Security– Multi-platform solutions– Network Access Control (NAC) devices
Summer 2007
• Infrastructure work• Network Routing• Server Rebuilds• Client Devices - Possible Student Opportunities
• Implementation of new SIS and Advanced Communication System
• Web Development - Phase II• School level pages
