Campus Network

Computers have come a long way from performing complex calculations at fast speeds. The personal computer "revolution" started in the mid-1970s with bulky hardware that had a steep learning curve.  Over the past 30 plus years, we have moved to smaller devices and easier to use interfaces.  The Internet explosion in the 1990's and the broadband growth of the 2000's has moved us to a point where we always expect on high-speed communications as much as we expect our lights to turn on when we want them to.   

The Internet now provides us with video, audio, games, photos, software, storage, telephony, video conferencing, and when we're really bored, information.  Business networks are used to process payroll, procurement, billing, security, building-control, HVAC management, and many other back-end functions most people never see.

Technology Infrastructure is responsible for installing and maintaining the campus network infrastructure. Our network is made up of over 10,000 ports and 140 network devices.  This includes the main campus, residence halls, and remote sites.  Technology Infrastructure also maintains the campus wireless infrastructure and Internet connectivity.
