Campus Network
Upgrade
A three year plan facilitating increased reliability, functionality and
speed for the UTSA network.
Project Overview and Benefits
Process
Core - Build new 10 Gigabit per second (Gb/s) MPLS core capable backbone network
Backbone - Upgrade 20 Main Switches – Each typical campus building has 1 main switch providing backbone
connectivity to all areas of the building.
Access - Upgrade to top of rack 10 Gigabit per second (Gb/s) capable switch in each of the 150 building data closets
Benefits
Increased Speed
Ability to provide Gigabit speeds to the desktop - While the default connectivity provided to end users remains at 100
Mb/s, the upgrade has provided a 10 Gigabits per second (Gb/s) backbone connection to each network closet
within a building. This increased bandwidth will enable connection speeds of up to 1 Gb/s where required for
research or other needs.
Increased Flexibility
Traffic engineering – The new MPLS network will allow UTSA to determine specific paths for network traffic which will
provide greater security flexibility.
VLANs – With the current network design, departmental networks are limited to a geographic area and may span multiple
IP subnets. The new network will provide a wide range of options for extending networks across campus (VPLS, L3
VPN, etc.)
