With increasing licensing costs and legacy equipment unable to keep up with new demands, Michael Uelses knew his institution’s infrastructure needed to evolve.
“We were embarking on a one-to-one mobile initiative to ensure our students are prepared for post-secondary success,” says Uelses, Director of Information Technology at the Nazareth Area School District. “We needed to modernize our network from the edge to the core to meet our objectives for providing exceptional experiences for teachers and students.”
Advice from Other Districts Seals the Deal
拿撒勒(Nazareth)凭借其先前的网络经历了成本和复杂性头痛。“我们现有的供应商的路线图似乎有利于越来越复杂的解决方案,具有负担重大的许可要求,”宾夕法尼亚州东部4,800多个学生的高级申请和网络管理员Mike Fahey说。
他补充说:“由于我们所在地区的规模和精益IT员工,我们对其他选择感兴趣。”
拿撒勒IT人员首先调查该地区其他地区和高等教育机构,向同龄人学习有线和无线选择。他们很快发现许多组织致力于惠普企业公司Aruba。
网络核心的可靠性和智力
For wired networking, Nazareth was particularly excited about Aruba’s intelligent core switches.
Fahey说:“高可用性开关包括新的AOS-CX操作系统。”“这对于简单的可编程性和机上网络分析引擎非常有吸引力,这两者都可以为我们提供高级功能,同时降低了我们的有线和无线网络的复杂性。”
最终,拿撒勒人选择部署两个Aruba 8320开关作为其公用事业级有线和无线网络的基础。Fahey说:“通过同步运行两个开关,我们将获得一个完全冗余的网络,无论是计划还是计划外,我们的用户都无法检测到故障转移。”
他补充说:“我们有一个非常明确的指令可以使无线正确。”“因为一切最终都可以回到网络的核心,所以岩石固定的核心开关是实现这一任务的关键。”
10Gig for today, up to 100Gig for tomorrow
为了支持电线吉比特Wi-Fi,拿撒勒人正在将其骨干连接升级到10Gbps。这使8230开关很自然。Fahey说:“它为我们提供了开箱即用的高速端口数量。”
The switch is easily scalable up to 100Gbps as we adopt more bandwidth-hungry applications, such as augmented and virtual reality for immersing students in subjects such as biology and engineering.
“In addition to positioning us for the Wi-Fi traffic needs of the future, we’re also in the process of upgrading our HPE Synergy blade servers, so we’re also using the 8320’s capability to handle a 40Gbps fiber connection to our servers right now,” Fahey says.
标准化Aruba Wi-Fi在室内和室外
对于Wi-Fi,拿撒勒人也在其遗产部署方面挣扎。“以前,我们有两个Wi-Fi供应商,” Uelses说。“随着时间的流逝,故障排除和管理效率越来越低。”
在无线评估阶段,拿撒勒的IT员工用Aruba AP代替了最麻烦的现有课堂访问点。乌尔斯斯说:“第二天早上,那个教室的老师说'哇,今天的Wi-Fi今天很快'。”
他继续说:“这就像翻转开关。”“当我们在那个房间中遇到的所有连接问题消失时,我们知道Aruba Wi-Fi是正确的选择。”

Outdoor Wi-Fi boosts safety and security
Nazareth also extended Aruba’s Wi-Fi outdoors for the first time as a critical component of its security strategy and to support a new emergency preparedness app. Almost the entire perimeter of each school, which includes playgrounds, parking lots, sport fields, a stadium and an environmental center are now covered with outdoor Wi-Fi.
“我们想确保我们的教职员工能够在户外交流并使用我们的响应工具导航准备which enables us to quickly determine who is accounted for and who isn’t during an emergency,” explains Uelses.
从安全的角度来看,拿撒勒现在已经制定了整体准备策略。
Uelses解释说:“我们已经向我们的替代教师发了iPad,因为他们并不总是将设备与导航兼容。”“现在,每个人都可以迅速进入分配的集会点,并通过Wi-Fi保持沟通。
他继续说:“我们有多次成功的演习。”“我们对Aruba在帮助我们确保每个人都得到解决方面的作用感到非常满意。”
Utility Grade Wi-Fi that just works
当拿撒勒人部署其新的Wi-Fi时,立即显而易见。
“We rolled out 1600 new Chromebooks right after we implemented our new wired and wireless network,” Uelses says. “In return, we heard crickets. There were no complaints.”
纳扎雷斯(Nazareth)认为,嵌入在阿鲁巴(Aruba)的Wi-Fi中的负载平衡情报是这一成功的贡献者。Fahey说:“ Aruba的移动导体可以自动平衡设备和数据加载。”我们用户唯一的经历是出色的性能,因为这一切都完全发生在后台。”
基金会护理:高度响应迅速,专业的技术支持
Nazareth’s technical support experience has been equally impressive.
“We prefer to be hands-on with our deployments,” explains Fahey. “Aruba’s documentation is well written and the syntax from wired to wireless is consistent, making it easy to transition between them.”
“I’ve only needed to call support twice since we began to deploy,” he adds. “Each time I reached an engineer very quickly and they provided immediate answers. It’s been a great experience.”
杰出的Wi-Fi Powers教室创新
如今,拿撒勒的教学,学习和学校安全都得到了显着改善。
“在我们的教室里,老师现在有信心Wi-Fi有效,” Uelses说。“因此,我们肯定会看到他们发展了他们的课程,以包括新的创新和参与选择。”例如,教师正在使用Google Expeditions VR教室套件将虚拟现实技术集成到他们的课堂上,传统的计算机实验室已转换为亲和力房间,学生使用虚拟现实,增强现实,机器人技术,停止运动动画和编码。

非常关注与Steam相关的活动和基于项目的学习。为了支持学术学习和学生成长,教师还通过为学生提供编码,机器人技术,虚拟和增强现实的经验,以创新的方式使用技术。最后,教师通过使用教科书的传统课程和知识提供过渡到创建学生可以通过学校学访问的数字课程。
他补充说:“在地区一级,拥有高性能的Wi-Fi使我们能够采用越来越多的基于云的解决方案进行教学,学习和管理。”
Next Up: IoT and More
With its future-ready Wi-Fi in place, Nazareth also plans to securely address mounting IoT requests.
Uelses说:“我们的设施管理人员期待着通过将构建自动化和访问系统添加到我们的IT网络中,他们将会获得的效率。”“此外,还有一些机会在我们的课堂上实施基于IoT的教学解决方案。
对于IoT所需的高级数据安全性,Nazareth采用了Aruba的ClearPass政策管理解决方案。“我们预计ClearPass将帮助我们为物联网,BYOD和Guest Device访问提供精简且安全的连接。”
最重要的是,拿撒勒人热衷于以新的方式增强学生的成功。“数字课程和移动体验将留在这里,” Uelses说。“我们的新网络使我们能够提供一个安全的环境,以支持未来几年的老师和学习者。”
With digital curricula and mobile expectations here to stay, our new Aruba network will enable us to support our teachers and students for years to come.
