David Ziemba gave Chad and I a quick tour around Loomis Hall to see the awesome new equipment that has been installed, completing puzzle pieces 1 and 2 of the new network in that building! (If you’re not sure what puzzle pieces 1 and 2 are, check out the network upgrade info here.)
Shiny new access point in Loomis Hall.
Location of an old access point – rest in peace old, outdated access point!

The new distribution switch in the Loomis data center with loads of fiber optic connections (orange is 1 GB and yellow is 10 GB).

It was great to get to see the progress in Loomis and know that this is the first step of many to upgrade the network on campus. Progress is a wonderful thing!
Thanks for the tour and explanations of what we were looking at, David Z., and thanks, Chad, for helping me to further understand what I was seeing!
ITS:Always fun, never boring
