Milestones• Selection• Selection Analysis• Acquisition• RFQ Analysis• Security Considerations• Deployment• Testing and adjusting

Selection Considerations

• Sustainability – Lifetime Warranty• Support – Training• Manufacturer – Financial Health• 10 GB Backbone• Dual Channel Wireless Radios• Total Cost of Ownership

Selection Analysis

• Based on the above Criteria and the RFQ analysis HP Procurve switches and Wireless Radios were selected.

• HP 2900 and 5400 switches were chosen to obtain a 10 GB backbone.

• HP MSM460 Dual band radios and MSM 765 wireless controllers were also chosen for cost and ease of support.

Acquisition

• Surveyed secondary sites to obtain port counts, and room counts.

• Compiled port counts and room counts to determine number of switches and wireless access points to order.

• Created a spreadsheet containing number part numbers and quantities.

Acquisition

• Solicit quotes from major resellers• Choose the least costly of three

different quotes that could accommodate with a piggyback-able contract.

• Awarded order to lowest responsible bidder at 50 percent below list pricing.

RFQ Analysis

• CDW-G $2,987,391.13• Decotech Systems $2,577,503.86• TigerDirect.com $2,694,152.72

Security Considerations

• Design: VLAN and Access Structure.– Radius and Active Directory (AD).– Guest Network without tokens (simple

password).– Student and Employee access with AD.– Scalable Security model to

accommodate bring your own device (BYOD).

– Network Access Controller (NAC)

Security Considerations

• NAC- to control and verify guest and foreign devices.– Virus protection up to date.– Malware and harmful apps and

programs.– Manage high bandwidth devices

Installation Notes

• The equipment being replaced was a mix of very old (in some cases more than a decade) technology.The techs visited about 200 IDFs, and installed enough switches and copper modules to connect 14,440 devices.

• Much of the installation was performed after hours to reduce downtime at a cost of less than $25,000.

Deployment

• Since November, TIS Team has worked nearly every weekend deploying switches and WAPs at fourteen secondary and one elementary site.
