Overview
Core Infrastructure Build is a foundational Network Unification workstream focused on establishing the underlying network infrastructure to support pilot activities and future migrations. This work helps establish and validate key components of the new network design, enabling the program to proceed with implementation in a structured manner.
Core Infrastructure Build Overview
The core infrastructure build involves the development and testing of the following networking components:
High-capacity backbone network facilitating 200-Gbps throughput across the UCLA network.
Firewalled access control and increased network segmentation to improve security.
Authenticated user access and identification across campus to improve security and monitoring.
Access to core networking services such as DDI, ClearPass, and NDFC to support secure and efficient device management.
Unification of wired and wireless networks across campus to improve streaming capacity and support classroom and hybrid learning.
Seamless connection to the legacy network to minimize disruption and support continuous improvement during transition.
