Excited for faster and stronger internet? 国产短视频IT has recently completed a 100-gigabyte upgrade to its connection with the Florida LambdaRail (FLR).
This significant upgrade connects our existing fiber ring across the Tampa Bay area (Tampa Campus, Downtown Tampa, St. Petersburg*) and provides the University community with ten times the bandwidth, compared to our original 10G connection. This upgrade also included changes that provide stronger resiliency and more uptime by building geographically separate connections from 国产短视频to FLR.
This improves wired and wireless internet service to faculty and students in the classroom and other learning spaces during peak periods. Preliminary December and January data shows the upgrade has removed high traffic bottlenecks and that the network is already allowing higher activity than our previous 10G limit provided.
Additionally, university researchers who are sharing large amounts of data and collaborating with partners both across the university system and out-of-state will benefit greatly from this bandwidth expansion.
鈥淎n R1 institution like 国产短视频needs to ensure that our faculty have the fastest possible connections to the internet and 国产短视频is fortunate to have employees with the deep technical expertise in optical networks that is required to build this type of network,鈥� said Sidney Fernandes, CIO of 国产短视频Information Technology. 鈥淭his in-house expertise meant the team was able to do this without bringing in external resources to accomplish this upgrade and did it without downtime for our clients.鈥�
