Survivability
We are evaluating different vendors for battery continuity of service in the event of a power outage. We have a draft UPS replacement schedule built by college Telecom Closet (TC) location. A preliminary draft UPS classification for expected service level was sent to the college IT Supervisors this weekend. Discussions will continue through June 14th. There are almost 350 UPS’s maintained through central funding for all college locations. Colleges may also benefit for their separate UPS refresh needs.
Network Upgrades
Capital Budget information for the network core refresh maintained by the DO is under review. Last August we built our first refresh. We will be releasing updated information by June 14th. Outside our core refresh process, information for college planning appears below. As we rollout Lync over the next 18 months, some of the switches may be addressed through the process. We continue to encourage joint refresh discussions. Updated information as of May 22, 2013 appears below:
| Switches total | End-of-Support | PoE | |
| ARC | 165 | 30 | 28 |
| CRC | 79 | 34 | 6 |
