1 Committee Details Date: 11/20/2015 Committee Name: 36-7 Network Telecom Video Surveillance Committee Co- Chairs: Noel Small and Chris Burge Functional Area: Information Technology Functional Area Coordinator: Phil Ventimiglia List the major tasks your committee will need to take to accomplish your deliverables. Please provide more details for the tasks leading up to the SACSCOC Prospectus development. Major Tasks for Committee Tracker from Final Planning Document and Recommendations Task: Plan then design Network Integration two (2) 10gig circuits 2) Test and insure proper routing between campuses/and firewalls are in place. This task is in progress. Task: Investigate network account needs based on department access requirements two (2) 10gig circuits 2) Test and insure proper routing between campuses/and firewalls are in place. 3) Redefine Protocol Routing 4) Test and Implement configuration changes. This task is in progress. Task: Develop firewall requirements Page 1 of 5

2 two (2) 10gig circuits 2) Test connectivity 3) Insure proper routing between campuses/and firewalls are in place. This task is in progress. Task: Identify connectivity requirements Once connectivity is established between institutions, GSU & GPC can then utilize both campus locations for Business Continuity and/or Disaster Recovery sites in the event of an internet connectivity outage. There are anticipated charges necessary to enable internet resilience. Establishing a link between Georgia State University and Georgia Perimeter College to enable data transport needed for seamless communication. This link will allow for software application and hardware access of various resources. The assessment needed for this task to proceed is completed. This task is in progress as part of the Network Integration Task. Task: Determine total bandwidth requirements Based on our desired outcome, it was determined the installing 2 10Gigs circuits would adequately serve the new university connectivity needs and that relates to acceptable bandwidth. This task has been completed. Task: Work with Peachnet to explore connectivity options Once connectivity is established between institutions, GSU & GPC can then utilize both campus locations for Business Continuity and/or Disaster Recovery sites in the event of an internet connectivity outage. There are anticipated charges necessary to enable internet resilience. Establishing a link between Georgia State University and Georgia Perimeter College to enable data transport needed for seamless communication. This link will allow for software application and hardware access of various resources. The background work/assessment needed for this task to Page 2 of 5

3 proceed is completed. The connectivity options obtained from Peachnet is as follows: Option 1 - Increase GPC's connectivity within the Peachnet cloud.(from 50Mbps - 150Mbps) Completed Option 2 - Pending further analysis and design based on actual long term requirements. This task is in progress as part of the Network Integration Task. Task: Identify dark Fiber availability at each core site We have received three (3) quotes from authorized vendors and will determine a way forward should we decided to terminate fiber at one of our desired data centers. The background work/assessment for this task has been completed. There may be future activity under this task, if the need to terminate fiber is required. Task: Identify Ocularis Version and add- on components (including 3 rd party) Georgia Perimeter College to enable video data transport for camera viewing and video retrieval 2. Consolidate video surveillance network architectures into one (1) logical 3. GSU Police Department should remain primary customer/authority having view controls of ALL cameras connected throughout both campus Today GSU and GPC both use the same video surveillance management system. The team has now identified the current versions of Ocularis being used on each campus. The activities associated with this task include: 1) Conduct GPC VSS assessment 2) Define routing and firewall ACL s 3) Write Config script 4) test and implement ensuring viewing capability by all campuses and necessary personnel. 5) Upgrade GPC system equipment 6) Sync version compatibility. This task is in progress. Task: Identify IP address ranges used The team has identified and shared IP addresses used by both institutions today. The background work/assessment of this task has been completed. Task: Network Design of video surveillance system Page 3 of 5

This task is in progress. Task: Determine wireless infrastructure requirements Georgia Perimeter College to enable GSU SSID authentication and wireless access across the campus. 2. Consolidate wireless network architectures into one (1) logical design. Today GSU and GPC both use the IEEE n standard and RADIUS authentication. The assessment of this task has resulted in the rolling out a new SSID name and using certificate based authentication. This will occur in September The activities associated with this task include: 1) Assess GPC SSID s and functionality 2) Map GPC and GSU SSID s/or create new naming convention 3) Test Configuration 4) Launch testing phase 5) Communicate to end users 6) Launch 7) decommission old SSIDs. This task is in progress. Task: Wired and Wireless Authentication for Students and Employees Georgia Perimeter College to enable GSU SSID authentication and wireless access across the campus. 2. Consolidate wireless network architectures into one (1) logical design. Today GSU and GPC both use the IEEE n standard and RADIUS authentication. The assessment of this task has resulted in the rolling out a new SSID name and using certificate based authentication.

This task is in progress. Task: Review of IT service and maintenance contracts Page 4 of 5

5 1. Consolidate video surveillance network architectures into one (1) logical 3. Consolidate wireless network architectures into one (1) logical design. GPC and GSU teams are continuing to gather information as it relates to service and maintenance contracts as they work through the major consolidation tasks. All enterprise vendors are to be notified through this fiscal year renewal process (or prior to July 1) of the intent to merge licenses, the effective licensing date for the new institution, any relevant information with regard to projected FTE/Seats required, adjusted standard renewal/anniversary date of July 1 to align with FY budgets (if not already), request any needed legal amendments or contract changes that may be required, and quote for future budgetary purposes. This task is in progress. Task: Inventory and Review of GPC infrastructure 1. Consolidate video surveillance network architectures into one (1) logical 3. Consolidate wireless network architectures into one (1) logical design. GPC and GSU teams are continuing to gather information as it relates to inventory and GPC infrastructure as they work through the major consolidation tasks. This task is in progress.
