Challenges
Move off VM
- Phone exec etc., Detailed reports, CDR
Data base integrity
- understand what is where & how accurate, does it need improvement, can/should it be integrated, what is cost?
Cabling
- running out, how well do we know where we are?
State of DNs & TNs
- will we run out, if so when, what can we do to delay
- what do we need to present a case for expansion?
Notes:
VM IS going away. I can see no plan for how to get off VM, and little if any work going on to do it.
STAdata database has information on user, but of questionable accuracy, also database has no network access.
Cabling is running out to several buildings, how well do we utilize existing pairs, how do we know that, should be be looking at multiplexing or other technologies
Cost of another 500 lines is couple hundred thousand dollars. There will be tremendous resistance to spending this. How long can we last with current capacity, what is history of growth, what are SLAC’s new needs, how do we find out?
