Customer Service Center MSP distributions New laptop/desktop additions, SCCM Deep Freeze replacement Forefront, MS Update configuration to reduce network traffic SCCM Security infrastructure updated to apply FEP definition files
Networking Moved Archive Manager archive to direct attached storage for faster response times Moved LAWPAPP from Marathon to HyperV Lawson\Infor financial application server, huge improvement in supportability moving forward Moved Enclosure 3 to a different rack, leveled out some heating imbalances In process of upgrading that enclosure to include another direct attached MDS (BBOD) Patched MDS 4, which is roughly 16 servers, 102 Hard drives, the SAS switches, the Management Console, and the MDS itself. Having some stability issues with the older firmware Went through a bandwidth crisis Survived Identified MS updates and throttled it
Networking We’re very close to removing our last T1 Ted Brown should be moved this week Identified a problem with LTM clients and came up with an emergency response procedure to keep the system running Older FAT clients were querying the application server so much that it would give up Converted FEP updates to our internal SCCM server as well as MS Updates Moved all the rings from one side to a new Core router housed at Jason Lee Huge DR piece, basically, we don’t have all our rings terminating in one room anymore The new Emergency Notification System has been tested twice Wireless Mount Tahoma, Downing, and Jefferson are complete Setup several VMs for MCS dashboard initiatives Turned our large tape library off, we converted most of our backups to disk, which is replicated to our DR

Windows In the Classroom Becky Keene
“Device Bar” Review New Devices
Considerations Student Technology Skills Create digital content, to demonstrate learning Collaborate electronically Master electronic productivity needed for college and career Communicate via digital media Student self-assess Connect students to data
Considerations Smarter Balanced Tests
Considerations Technology embedded in the Common Core
Considerations ISTE Standards
Considerations Non-negotiables and Minimum Requirements Serviceability Battery life Replaceable battery Warranty – 3 year minimum “Kid Proof” “Plays well with others” Life Cycle Realties Build cycle Parts Available quantities
Considerations Is this the next Netbook? Is this the next big thing, like the iPad 2-3 years ago? If it lasts half as long and is a third the price do we buy twice in six years, or buy twice as many now? What has changed in the last six years since our previous large quantity computer purchase? Will there be a “I wish I had” moments?
REVIEW THE RECOMMENDATIONS
THANK YOU Next Meeting May 13, 2014 | 5:30-7:30 First Creek Middle School
