2. Overview of Presentation  What we need  Why we need it  How we’re going to pay for it

3. What We Need  12 Cisco Catalyst 3560 Data Communication Switches  Cost  $3,774 ea.  Total $45,288

4. What Does a Switch Do?  Backbone of every network  Allows computers to communicate to each other  Organizes computer resources into Local Area Networks (LANS)

5. Why We Need It  The Cisco and Microsoft certification courses  Course fill rate of 100%  Serve over 150 students per semester  Current switches don’t support latest technologies  Remote management  Virtual LANs (VLANs)  Layer 3 Switching routes LAN traffic to remote networks

8. How We’re Going to Pay For It  2009 – 2010 Perkins Grant  MSJC received $511,494 for CTE Programs  Federal funding that must be spent  Distributed among 17 programs

9. Enrollments - Fall 2009 1. Nursing 2,536 FTEs (18.4%) 2. Business 1,891 FTEs (13.7%) 3. CIS 1,840 FTEs (13.3%) 4. Other 14 programs 7,492 FTEs (54.4%)
