ALTEC’s campus is spanned over two floors of a modern St Kilda Road building, and used by approximately 800 students and 40 staff members. ALTEC has two dedicated wired networks for administrative/academic and student services respectively. Print, scan, email, and internet services are shared across the networks. The college uses its own intranet as a communications channel, content repository, and an application sharing tool that supports day‐to‐day college activities. The college uses separate email/data, file and print, database, and legacy servers. With a view to expand its educational services in higher education, ALTEC has decided to add an additional floor to its existing campus (ground and first floor). An entire second floor has been leased; and is being fitted out for academic operations. There are also plans to use a part of the floor as an administrative area. With a view to segregate its academic operations, ALTEC’s plan for the campus is; Vocational Course Ground and First Floor Higher Education Courses Second Floor As the new floor will need to be connected with the existing network, the college has hired services of Bytes Consultancy to plan and upgrade its existing network. In particular, the college requires that; 1. Two core backbones separating staff and student/visitor access and traffic 2. Different access levels and services across different floors 3. Integrated voice, video, network management, and routing traffic (over VPN) 4.
