Replace half of the switched network equipment in the Walker Library with state of the art equipment. The Walker Library network connections are serviced by equipment installed when the building was built six years ago. The technology (switched 10 Mbps) is outdated. New equipment will allow for faster link speeds (100 Mbps), a faster building uplink (1 Gbps as opposed to 100 Mbps), and more security options for preventing the spread of viruses, worms, and network denial of service attacks. A companion TAF proposal to replace the other half of the 10 Mbps switched equipment is planned for next fiscal year. Note the equipment specified is current as of 1/05 but, due to the nature of the business, part numbers and/or quantites may change. The number of ports will not change, however, and is estimated at 576.
