Description of Request: include justification as to why it can't wait until next budget cycle
Funds are requested to purchase a second CENIC router for the second 1 gigabit circuit. CENIC agreed to provide only a module to install into the
existing router. To provide more redundancy, we want to install a complete second router. This will reduce the number of potential single points of
failure and make the system more reliable. Since CENIC provides the internet connection, a failure of both the primary and backup circuits (i.e.
failure of the single router) would cause the website, telepresence, email, webadvisor, wifi, and other online systems to go offline/dark.
Relationship to Institutional Plans (Strategic, Education, Annual, SSSP or Student Equity) or Assessment
Include the specific plan and action item relevant to your action to be taken.
For example: Annual Plan 2013-2014 Theme: Persistence; or Goal 1: Student Success: EP.1.6.2 Develop a plan for narrowing the achievement
gap for underrepresented student populations.
III.C.2. The institution continuously plans for, updates and replaces technology to ensure its technological infrastructure, quality and capacity are
adequate to support its mission, operations, programs, and services.
Technology Plan: Goal 2: Maintain and Improve Technology Infrastructure -- Objective 2.4 Enhance backup systems and develop
comprehensive technology disaster recovery capability.
One-time or Permanent Augments? One-time
One-time augments:
● Will be covered from temporary savings in other areas, or
● Will increase the District’s total budget for the year?
Permanent augments:
● Will be covered by permanent budget cut in other area and identify the source of the budget cut, or
● Will permanently increase the District’s budget.
Comments or additional information:
This request was not submitted through Program Review because we only recently learned that CENIC opted for an expansion module instead.
Steven will bring this item to the Technology Planning Committee as well. Time is of the essence as the router needs to be purchased and installed
to provide backup. Funding is split at $8,000 instructional equipment (11059-6053-137-6780-56455) to recognize telepresence, webadvisor, wifi,
and online class dependency and $5,000 one time funds (11006-6053-6780-56455). Purchase is for a router with 3 year warranty/service contract
and UPS equipment along with necessary modules, cables, etc.
