Welcome
UB10G - Coming Soon
It has been 10 years since the current network backbone was built. UB10G refers to UB's next generation network backbone; a 10 Gigabit ethernet backbone in the core with 1 Gigabit ethernet dual attached links to every building. Now that 1GB is almost ubiquitously available at the network's edge, the current 1GB backbone is destined to become a bottleneck. The planned bandwidth upgrade represents a 10X capacity increase. With the emergence of VoIP and other applications that are dependent on the network, up time has become more critical. Dual attached building links introduce another layer of redundancy that is missing today. Upon completion of this upgrade, the backbone will deliver greater throughout and improved reliability. New hardware has already been purchased and a schedule is under construction. The upgrade is expected to take several months to complete. Stay tuned for further developments.
