Overview
The Core Infrastructure Build is the foundation for Network Unification. This work focuses on building and testing the future-state network components needed to support pilot migrations and waved migrations across campus.
Current work includes equipment procurement and staging, power and fiber remediation, build and test of core network components, and integration with the legacy environment. These activities help prepare UCLA for a more secure, scalable, and consistent campus network.
Key Components
The core infrastructure build involves the development and testing of the following networking components:
Firewalled access control and increased network segmentation to improve security.
Access to core networking services such as DDI, ClearPass, and NDFC to support secure and efficient device management.
High-capacity backbone network facilitating 400-Gbps throughput across the UCLA network.
Unification of wired and wireless networks across campus to improve streaming capacity and support classroom and hybrid learning.
Authenticated user access and identification across campus to improve security and monitoring.
Seamless connection to the legacy network to minimize disruption and support continuous improvement during transition.
