1 The Office of Information Technology Campus Network Upgrade A three year plan facilitating increased reliability, functionality and speed for the UTSA network.

2 The Office of Information Technology Project Overview and Benefits Process Core - Build new 10 Gigabit per second (Gb/s) MPLS core capable backbone network Backbone - Upgrade 20 Main Switches – Each typical campus building has 1 main switch providing backbone connectivity to all areas of the building. Access - Upgrade to top of rack 10 Gigabit per second (Gb/s) capable switch in each of the 150 building data closets Benefits Increased Speed Ability to provide Gigabit speeds to the desktop - While the default connectivity provided to end users remains at 100 Mb/s, the upgrade has provided a 10 Gigabits per second (Gb/s) backbone connection to each network closet within a building. This increased bandwidth will enable connection speeds of up to 1 Gb/s where required for research or other needs. Increased Flexibility Traffic engineering – The new MPLS network will allow UTSA to determine specific paths for network traffic which will provide greater security flexibility. VLANs – With the current network design, departmental networks are limited to a geographic area and may span multiple IP subnets. The new network will provide a wide range of options for extending networks across campus (VPLS, L3 VPN, etc.)
