Narrative
This is for upgrading the networking equipment for the cloud-based desktops that are available to all the students in the College of Engineering and Computer Science. The total number of registered students for the College is about 3000. The average number of students using cloud-based desktops for their classes has been about 300 each semester for the last few semesters.
The College of Engineering and Computer Science has been providing virtual desktops for our students using our existing virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI). Since these are virtual desktops, we can provide access at “any time” or from “anywhere”. Engineering students can access these virtual desktops and the software installed on them from most available mobile devices and standard PCs and laptops.
We are asking the techfee committee to please provide funds in the amount of $80,000 to upgrade the networking switches for the cloud-based desktops. The estimated cost will be based on $20,000 for each network switch.
Facilities
Engineering VDI Servers and networking switches are placed in building EE96 room 102J. NO facilities renovations or upgrades will be required.
Hardware Requirements
Four networking switches.
