| Objective 7: Maintain the network infrastructure and storage technology at an adequate level to meet expanding needs. Outcome: Core network speed throughout the University will be 10 GB. The number of student access points will increase from 150 to 300. Online storage will be increased by half a petabyte. Data mining services will be available for administrative, instructional, and research activities. Four new staff members will be added to IRM: 2 in the Networking Group to provide extended coverage, 1 in the Systems and Operations Group, and 1 to support the new storage services. The number of simultaneous connections supported will increase from 3 to 6.
