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

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

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

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
