Networks that enable
The Vision
We will create new ways to develop the
intellectual and leadership capacity of our
graduate, undergraduate, and professional
students…..We will continue to lead
nationally and internationally through our
research programs by investing in the
established and emerging intellectual
strengths of our faculty.
Chancellor Vanderhoef – UC Davis Strategic Plan
The Driving Factor
UC Davis has a reputation as a
research university "on the move." It has
successfully recruited world-class faculty
…. with recognized research and graduate
strengths in the use of computational
resources.
This makes an agile, effective support
infrastructure a priority.
Critical Network Issues
• Competition for Infrastructure funding
• Academic programs are becoming increasingly
technology dependent
• Existence of “hard stops”
“Hard Stops”
• Manufacturer support unavailable
• Parts available from third party sources
• No secondary delivery capability
• Uncertain recovery timeframe
• Failure introduces campuswide catastrophic
impact

managed as separate stand-alone services
• Wireless network services as an add-on
component
• Campus data network is at the end of its
life-cycle
• No single strategic network services architecture
