• Now tell me about you…

2013 CASBO ANNUAL CONFERENCE & SCHOOL BUSINESS EXPO

2013 CASBO ANNUAL CONFERENCE & SCHOOL BUSINESS EXPO

In the beginning …• Networks defined the place, time and

devices that were connected to them.

• The business determined the devices that were attached and from where and when they could have access.

Not long ago …

• While state of the art at the time, these are now considered “closed systems”.

• The business defined who, what, where and when.

2013 CASBO ANNUAL CONFERENCE & SCHOOL BUSINESS EXPO

But that was then• Networks today are much more

complicated.

• Much more complicated

2013 CASBO ANNUAL CONFERENCE & SCHOOL BUSINESS EXPO

Anytime, Anywhere, Any Device

• Today’s networks are all about accessibility

• What drives that?• Terms you probably know:

– Web based instruction– Digital textbooks– Common Core– SBAC & other assessments

Anytime, Anywhere, Any Device

• OK. That’s all about content. What about accessibility?

• How students access that content is shifting too:– A shift from labs to 1:1 initiatives– BYOD– BYON

Anytime, Anywhere, Any Device

• That’s not bad. We can handle that.• But there is more. Users also want

access– From work/school– From home– On the road or vacation– At conferences!

2013 CASBO ANNUAL CONFERENCE & SCHOOL BUSINESS EXPO

Anytime, Anywhere, Any Device

• There is still more …• The question used to be PC or Mac?• Now the question is:

– PC/Mac– Android– iOS– Windows Mobile– Chrome

2013 CASBO ANNUAL CONFERENCE & SCHOOL BUSINESS EXPO

Anytime, Anywhere, Any Device

• What does it all mean????• In short, users want access:• At any time• From anywhere• On any device

2013 CASBO ANNUAL CONFERENCE & SCHOOL BUSINESS EXPO

Anytime, Anywhere, Any Device

• That’s too much. We can’t manage that!

• YOU’RE RIGHT!• DON’T MANAGE IT.

EMBRACE IT!!

2013 CASBO ANNUAL CONFERENCE & SCHOOL BUSINESS EXPO

…really?

• That’s great. But how do we do that?• You need three things:• Big pipes• Ubiquitous wireless• A platform agnostic delivery system

2013 CASBO ANNUAL CONFERENCE & SCHOOL BUSINESS EXPO

Big Pipes

• You need the ability to move large amounts of data

• Between sites• To the Internet• Lots of devices needing lots of

access will require big pipes

2013 CASBO ANNUAL CONFERENCE & SCHOOL BUSINESS EXPO

Big Pipes

Ubiquitous Wireless

Ubiquitous Wireless

Platform Agnostic Delivery

• Support for District owned & BYOD devices

• Laptops, netbooks, tablets, phones• Devices in homes & hotels we

know nothing about• To reach our goal, we need to

support them all

2013 CASBO ANNUAL CONFERENCE & SCHOOL BUSINESS EXPO

Platform Agnostic Delivery
