Network Assessment
This project was initiated by the Assistant Vice President for Technology and Support Services University of Houston to assess the UH network. The main objective was to determine the current state of the UH network, identify future needs, expectations, and emerging technologies and create an immediate and long-term Network Plan. Furthermore, a cursory look into the methodology used, the first step was to identify the departmental structure, personnel and stakeholders involved in delivering information technology solutions; for the UH case study this departmental team were
- Network Planning and Development - the Core Network,
- the IT Network Services, -access layer network planning,
- the UIT customer support ticket-based customer support,
- Information Technology Availability Center (ITAC)Network Operations Center.
Customer feedback was gathered through online surveys and the use of a mobile app during townhall meetings. Input used to determine expectations and future demand on the UH network was also gathered from stakeholders including everyone who's activities were impacted by the network from teaching faculty to faculty Researchers, Students, Administrative Staff, IT Leadership etc.
In addition, we needed a way to measure and quantify the data available to us. during the early stages of the network assessment, one key strategy was to pull up all relevant data. This efficient data collection and analysis will be presented.
Finally, the results are interesting as this produced several high risks immediate action items and also future network plan.
