About our Infrastructure:

C-TEC utilizes a scalable, robust, and highly available Cisco network infrastructure. Internet services are providedby LACA via a 100Mb/s fiber link, which is then distributed throughout the building through redundant Cisco 6500 Layer 3 Switches that make up the core of the network. Cisco 3560G edge switches bring gigabit ethernet capabilitiesto each end device, as well as power over ethernet for IP Telephony devices all while providing fault tolerant multiple paths to the core through a gigabit fiber backbone. All traffic on the network is 802.1q compliant and provides Quality of Service support for maximum availability to critical information.

C-TEC's phone services are handled locally by a Nortel CS1000 Private Branch Exchange as well as redundant Signalling Servers for IP Telephony purposes. Unified Messaging services are provided by a Callpilot 5.0 server and all devices are centrally managed using Nortel Telephony Manager.  Currently, C-TEC has over 200 phones deployed, 117 of which are IP phones. The PBX is fed by dual Primary Rate Interfaces for a combined capacity of 44 simultaneous incoming/outgoing phone conversations.

The C-TEC datacenter utilizes Dell PowerEdge hardware and Microsoft software. The center piece of the datacenter is a VMWARE ESX Enterprise system running on two PowerEdge 2950 servers and connected to an EMC Storage Area Network via gigabit switched fabric Fiber-Channel. This system is home to as many as 10 different servers, one of which is a Microsoft Exchange 2007 server providing internal e-mail support for the district. Databases are managed by  Microsoft SQL Server 2005, and remote access is handled via Microsoft Terminal Services, an extension of Server 2003.

Local Cable TV service provided by Time Warner is distributed throughout the building to each classroom via a main CATV Amplifier in the Data Center and through apartment amplifiers in each IDF throughout the building.

Backup service for critical data is provided by LACA.
