Network Modernization
Project Overview: With the support of CARES funding, the Division of Information Technology along with our industry partners CDW-G and Aruba modernized our university network to add resilience and necessary functionality to serve Kent State’s needs into the future. The modernization took place in phases, starting in the Fall of 2020 and completing in the Spring of 2022.
Completed: Spring 2022
Business Value: Our network infrastructure is a key and foundational part of the technology that enables the digital services we use for Kent State’s academic, research and administrative needs. The CARES Act provided the university an opportunity to take a significant step forward to modernize our network with state of the art technology that is projected to meet current and anticipated needs into the near future.
