This creates a redundant data path, similar to a ring, so that Chapman can have full control of the network speeds and more resilient network connection.\u00a0\u00a0 The next step is to extend the dark fiber ring to Panther Village.\u00a0 A high-level diagram is attached.<\/p>\n<p>The University is now buying internet services from three different providers, improving our reliability and redundancy, and also allowing us to negotiate better costs.\u00a0 In addition, the multiple vendor scenario allows us to route \u201ccommodity\u201d internet via commercial providers at the lowest possible cost, allowing us to reserve our Internet2 service for educational and research purposes only.<\/p>\n<p>This project has provided the University the following benefits:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Immediately triple the bandwidth to the Rinker Health Science campus, from the current 300 MB to 1GB, with ability to increase speeds up to 10gb in the near future.<\/li>\n<li>Increase in total Internet bandwidth available to the University from 2.5Gb to 21 Gb with a reduction in total costs.<\/li>\n<li>Increased service reliability, with the University now being able to sustain connectivity in the event of a cable cut or other unpredictable event between the campuses and our Internet providers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The new upgraded network is expected to accommodate even higher speeds in the future (40Gb and 100Gb) as technology and the University\u2019s needs continue to grow in the coming years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This project was recently covered by the Orange County Register, along with a discussion of our recently implemented Numa server.\u00a0 Read the article here:\u00a0 <a
