GCI Campus Network Solution

Absrtact: This paper analyzes the large and medium-sized campus network scheme of GCI, and offers a variety of options for schools of different sizes. The usage and characteristics of GCI corresponding network equipment are introduced.

With the rapid development of information technology, the construction of campus network has been fully launched. As the foundation of the school information platform, the campus network must choose the best scheme in the design, in order to best support the application of teaching (including teaching and research), administration (including office automation), resource sharing among schools, distance education and so on.

In the process of building the campus network, advanced technology, product reliability, system manageability and scalability are all factors that must be considered, and for the education industry, how to make full use of limited investment, in the premise of ensuring the advanced nature of the network, the choice of performance price than the best equipment, is also the primary concern of various schools. To this end, GCI company according to the needs of the education industry users, launched a suitable for different scales of school education and teaching application of the campus network construction program.

A Characteristics of GCI Campus Network

In order to make full use of limited investment, under the premise of ensuring the advanced nature of the network, choose the best equipment, the GCI Campus network construction program follows the following principles.

Advancement

With advanced, mature network technology for networking, support data, voice, video and other multimedia applications, using Exchange based technology to replace the traditional route based technology.

Flexibility and compatibility

The use of standard software technology in line with the international development trend ensures that the system has strong reliability, scalability and scalability to ensure that the system can interconnect with existing manufacturers ' network equipment, small machines, workstations, servers and microcomputers.

Reliability

The use of high reliability products and technology, fully consider the system operation of the strain and fault tolerance, to ensure the security and reliability of the entire system.

Standardization and openness

Network protocol conforms to ISO or IEEE, Itut, ANSI and other standards established, and the use of international and national standards of network equipment.

Scalability and upgrade capabilities

Support a variety of network protocols, a variety of high-level protocols and multimedia applications. The network structure design should have the good scalability and the upgrade ability, for the future network upgrades and expands, can protect the existing investment.

Flexibility of configuration

The entire network can be configured to quickly and easily move users or groups of users from one network to another without any hardware changes, adapting to changes in school institutions. At the same time, it can improve the network performance by balancing network traffic.
