2.  Considerations for Data Switch Deployment  Considerations for VoIP Deployment  Considerations for Wireless Deployment  Non Technical Considerations  Case Study – Roscommon Area Schools  Q & A

3.  Improve communications between teachers, staff and parents  Purchase equipment that will allow for future technologies  Improve productivity  IT staff limitations  Improved safety and security

4.  Everything runs over your data network  Wireless, VoIP, Security Cameras, IP Video, …  QoS in hardware is critical  Plug-n-play is critical  Robust management is critical  PoE is critical

5.  Stacking Architecture  Ability to implement 10 Gig uplink speeds without replacing switch  Intelligence on the switch  Smart ports  Scripts  10/100/1000 for end station connectivity

6.  Simple implementation  Ease of management  Redundancy  Scalability  End-user productivity  Unified Communications  Detailed PSTN usage reports

7.  802.11n  Wireless Controller Features  Heat maps  Firewall capabilities  Remote AP / TeleWorker

8.  Training  Ability to Manage the Network from anywhere  On-going Support Costs  Energy Consumption  Detailed Reports for Management

9.  Data switches were mix of 3COM and Linksys  No central management, very little PoE, poor stacking architecture  Voice was Asterisk solution  Poor reliability, limited reporting,  Wireless was hot spot locations using 3COM  Limited coverage, poor management capabilities

10.  Extreme data switches  10/100/1000 everywhere, 1 Gig backbone but can scale to 10 Gig without replacing switch, able to detect loop in network and will only shut down those two ports  ShoreTel VoIP system  IP handset failover, robust management and reporting capabilities, simple to administer

11.  Aruba Networks wireless controller  Complete wireless coverage, stateful inspection firewall embedded in controller,

12.  Management capabilities that allow for quick troubleshooting  Very short ramp-up time to learn product  Able to migrate to newer technologies with minimal disruption (10 Gig, 802.11n,..)  Can provide detailed reports for management  Lower on-going maintenance costs
