IEEE 802 Network Equipment Requisition Proposal

PHASE I

Catalyst 3560 8-port PoE Switches Model: #WS-C3560-8PC-S Quantity: 20 List price: $1,695.00 each Mountain States Networking Price: $850.95 each

Justification: The performance of the 8-port Allied Telesyn switches currently in our inventory has steadily declined. They have also been a source of complaints from the membership due to the din of the loud fans when these switches are deployed in meeting rooms. We have purchased and tested two of these fanless Cisco switches and are extremely pleased with their features, functions and performance. These Cisco switches demonstrate none of the severe latency problems we are experiencing with the Allied Telesyn switches.

This is considered a mission critical upgrade request. ______

Justification: We need three servers hosted by VeriLAN in Portland, which will mirror three servers in the IEEE Rack.  Server #1: Newton is the network server that provides critical network functions, i.e. DNS, backup DHCP, SMTP mail relay, Web services, Print Services and Radius authentication.

 Server #2: Griffin is the network server that provides critical network and document server functions, i.e. DNS, Primary DHCP, Network Monitoring Tools, Remote Document Synchronization and Document files.  Server #3: Murphy will be the application server reserved for attendance applications.

The servers currently deployed in the IEEE rack are exhibiting problems associated with age and the wear and tear caused by commercial shipping around the planet. For example, Newton does not reliably power up and requires being removed from the rack, opened up, cables reseated and re-racked before it will boot up.

We need to provide 24/7 online access to the IEEE IMAT Attendance servers for Walter and Tom who are working on mission critical attendance, affiliation tracking and document management support applications. The server rack spends a great deal of time in transit, especially for international meetings. This downtime is causing significant problems in terms of access and also forces us to install new programs, perform system mods and upgrades on our production systems during meetings (a very dangerous and bad practice). These new systems would facilitate Tom and Walter's development work and also provide us with a development platform for staging upgrades, modifications and new installs between meetings.

The purchase of six servers will provide the robustness and redundancy required for mission critical production and network functions.

This is considered a mission critical upgrade request.

Total Cost = $24,315.00 + tax & shipping.

PHASE II

Catalyst 3560E-48PD-SF: 48 10/100/1000 ports w/ PoE Model: #WS-C3560E-48PD-SF Quantity: 2 List price: $13,495.00 each Mountain States Networking Price: $8,366.90 each

SMARTNET 8X5XNBD CON-SNT-3560E4PS Maintenance Contract List price: $1,080.00 Mountain States Networking Price: $1,004.40

Catalyst 3560E-24PD-S: 24 10/100/1000 ports w/ PoE Model: #WS-C3560E-24PD-S Quantity: 10 List price: $6,795.00 each Mountain States Networking Price: $4,212.90 each

SMARTNET 8X5XNBD CON-SNT-3560E2PS Maintenance Contract List price: $544.00 Mountain States Networking Price: $505.95

Justification: These switches will provide us with the means to replace local IDF and MDF switching infrastructure, ensuring a robust network experience and reliability not currently realized with our existing network deployment model. We have experience delivering robust networks for IETF and ICANN where we are required to replace network infrastructure to optimize network performance, uptime and reliability.

This upgrade is strongly recommended. Total Cost = $60,373.15 + tax & shipping.

PHASE III

Cisco 3845 Integrated Services Router with 2 Gigabit Ethernet, 1SFP, 4 NME, 4 HWIC, 2 AIM, Cisco IOS IP Base software, AC power, and PoE. CISCO 3845 w/AC PWR, 2GE, 1SFP, 4NME, 4HWIC, IP Base, 64F/256D S384IPBK9-12416 Cisco 3845 IP BASE MEM3800-256U1024D 256 to 1024MB DDR DRAM factory upgrade for Cisco 3800 MEM3800-64U128CF 64 to 128 MB CF Factory Upgrade for Cisco 3800 Series NM-1T3/E3 One port T3/E3 network module HWIC-1GE-SFP GigE High Speed WIC with One SFP Slot GLC-SX-MM GE SFP, LC connector SX transceiver PWR-3845-AC Cisco 3845 AC power supply CAB-AC Power Cord, 110V ROUTER-SDM Device manager for routers

SMARTNET 8X5XNBD 3845 w/AC PWR, 2GE, 1S CON-SNT-3845 Maintenance Contract List price: $1,509.00 Mountain States Networking Price: $1,403.37

Justification: These edge routers are the final component required for total control of the network architecture deployed for IEEE meetings. VeriLAN will deploy, manage, and support all aspects of the physical network. We have experience delivering robust networks for IETF and ICANN where we are required to replace all network infrastructure to optimize network performance, uptime and reliability.

This upgrade is strongly recommended. Total Cost = $40,337.37 + tax & shipping.
