Layer 2 Edge Switch Refresh
Cost: $168,000 The replacement cycle for edge switching is 6 years, and our inventory software shows 84 switches on WNMU’s LAN that will be 7+ years on July 1/ 2017. At $2000 per switch, it is a $168,000 equipment refresh. -

Video Conferencing Refresh
Cost: $42,000 This would replace six codec units at 7k each, which would deal with the antiquated units at the branch campuses (Deming, Gallup) and a few of the ones on main campus. -

Uninterruptible Power Supply Batteries Refresh
Cost: $57,500 Battery replacement for the UPS 1500s we have in the closets come to $250 per, with thirty batteries required…a total cost of $57,500. These are the battery backups that keep phone services operational in the event of a power failure, for about 30 minutes. -
Period: to
Virtual Server Architecture Refresh
Cost: $38,000 While the Cisco UCE (which handles the processing and memory portions) Western has in place is already going on four years, it has some time left on its expected lifespan. WNMU’s storage for the servers, however, is largely running on a cobbled together storage array, and has no warranty or service contract. A replacement SAN—such as a Nimble array—will address this. -
Period: to
Document Imaging Equipment Refresh
Cost: $50,000 This will be the refresh for the document imaging application, which is mandated by state code that we refresh every five years. This will include servers, storage and USB backup capacity, as per the mandate. -

Firewall Replacement
Cost: $30,000 Replacement for Palo Alto Firewalls, who are already in their third year of deployment. This could be used to seek out an alternative for deep packet inspection, or combined with funds for a more inclusive appliance—such as a Tipping Point—and give some cost savings further down the road. -

Cisco UCS Replacement
Cost: $50,000 Replacement for the processing and memory resources for our Virtual Server Library. -
Period: to
MediaSite Replacement
Cost: $300,00 Replacement/upgrade for the video bridges, centralized management for our MediaSite, MyMediaSite Video and Desktop Conferencing system. Purchased three years ago, pushing for a lifespan for seven years may be pushing the envelope, but with so many costs coming in 2020, this may very well be a necessity. -
Period: to
Wireless Access Point Refresh
Cost: $200,000 Full refresh of wireless plant, complete with replacing the centralized controller. These Wireless Access Points were purchased three years ago, and have an expected lifespan of six years. Given the vast number of items WNMU needs to address, we will make them work for eight before their refreshment. -
Period: to
Voice Over IP Replacement
Cost: $300,000 This will be the replacement of our VoIP system after a 10 year shelf life. The expectation is that we would go with NEC again, and keep our costs relatively low. Switching to a different vendor will be possible, but will incur additional costs for migration and consultation.
