2009Ongoing

November 2009 In hind-sight, our network rebuild felt like a new build. We crashed and burned right out of the gate when school started and a few times more as a result of our progress working to tweak our network to fit our needs.

During our "site visits" with building administrators and network consultant, the week of November 2nd, 2009, our work in network healthiness and durability continues to be an uphill battle. It will plane off again if history repeats itself but what was clear in the past is still clear today....the network is the core and should always be our #1 priority.
