IEEE 802 Network Equipment Requisition Proposal
PHASE I
Catalyst 3560 8-port PoE Switches
Model: #WS-C3560-8PC-S
Quantity: 20
List price: $1,695.00 each
Mountain States Networking Price: $850.95 each
Justification: The performance of the 8-port Allied Telesyn switches currently in our inventory
has steadily declined. They have also been a source of complaints from the membership due
to the din of the loud fans when these switches are deployed in meeting rooms. We have
purchased and tested two of these fanless Cisco switches and are extremely pleased with their
features, functions and performance. These Cisco switches demonstrate none of the severe
latency problems we are experiencing with the Allied Telesyn switches.
This is considered a mission critical upgrade request.

Justification: We need three servers hosted by VeriLAN in Portland, which will mirror three
servers in the IEEE Rack.
 Server #1: Newton is the network server that provides critical network functions, i.e.
DNS, backup DHCP, SMTP mail relay, Web services, Print Services and Radius
authentication.

 Server #2: Griffin is the network server that provides critical network and document
server functions, i.e. DNS, Primary DHCP, Network Monitoring Tools, Remote
Document Synchronization and Document files.
 Server #3: Murphy will be the application server reserved for attendance applications.
The servers currently deployed in the IEEE rack are exhibiting problems associated with age
and the wear and tear caused by commercial shipping around the planet. For example,
Newton does not reliably power up and requires being removed from the rack, opened up,
cables reseated and re-racked before it will boot up.
We need to provide 24/7 online access to the IEEE IMAT Attendance servers for Walter and
Tom who are working on mission critical attendance, affiliation tracking and document
management support applications. The server rack spends a great deal of time in transit,
especially for international meetings. This downtime is causing significant problems in terms of
access and also forces us to install new programs, perform system mods and upgrades on our
production systems during meetings (a very dangerous and bad practice). These new
systems would facilitate Tom and Walter's development work and also provide us with a
development platform for staging upgrades, modifications and new installs between meetings.
The purchase of six servers will provide the robustness and redundancy required for mission
critical production and network functions.
This is considered a mission critical upgrade request.
Total Cost = $24,315.00 + tax & shipping.

Catalyst 3560E-24PD-S: 24 10/100/1000 ports w/ PoE
Model: #WS-C3560E-24PD-S
Quantity: 10
List price: $6,795.00 each
Mountain States Networking Price: $4,212.90 each
SMARTNET 8X5XNBD
CON-SNT-3560E2PS
Maintenance Contract
List price: $544.00
Mountain States Networking Price: $505.95
Justification: These switches will provide us with the means to replace local IDF and MDF
switching infrastructure, ensuring a robust network experience and reliability not currently
realized with our existing network deployment model. We have experience delivering robust
networks for IETF and ICANN where we are required to replace network infrastructure to
optimize network performance, uptime and reliability.
This upgrade is strongly recommended. Total Cost = $60,373.15 + tax & shipping.
