University at Buffalo - The State University of New York

On 7/21/09, the Bell Hall subnets were cut over to the new UB10G backbone becoming the first production networks to do so. This significant milestone occurred after months of preparation and with the cooperation of SENS and CSE IT support staff. Jerry Bucklaew, UB's Senior Network Architect and Network Backbone Upgrade Project Manager referred to the cut over as a "non-event". In other words, the migration went smoothly, according to plan, with no unintended consequences. This bodes well for the remaining 100+ conversions.
