• Now tell me about you…



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.


But that was then• Networks today are much more

complicated.

• Much more complicated


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



• 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



• 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!



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

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



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



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

• YOU’RE RIGHT!• DON’T MANAGE IT.

EMBRACE IT!!


…really?

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


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


• Wireless• Site-to-site• To Internet• Home• Hosted content• Data will move in new ways

Big Pipes


Ubiquitous Wireless

• Anywhere, Any Device will require wireless

• Laptops/Tablets• BYOD• Assume 2 to 3 devices PER person• Lots of wireless for your big pipes


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


Platform Agnostic Delivery

• One option is a portal


Pulling it together• Anywhere, Anytime and Any Device will

require …• Big pipes, Ubiquitous Wireless and

Agnostic Delivery• It will take time and it is not cheap but it

is all out there• So, let’s get to work!


Thank You
