所面临的挑战

Intuitively, 来ISD knew that education was moving to a cloud-based design. They were at the forefront pushing all of their resources and applications to the new environment pre-COVID.

In 2019, 来ISD sought to transition to a Google District and enable cloud-based learning. Their intuition and forward-thinking positioned them to seamlessly transition to a virtual classroom environment as soon as the pandemic arrived. 来ISD’s focus on technology enabled them to stay a step ahead of a change that left other districts scrambling to catch up.

To become a Google District, 来ISD required several upgrades to their network infrastructure and backbone. They needed to scale up bandwidth between schools and increase capacity to the datacenters. 在新环境中, all the learning applications would reside in the cloud with 100% accessibility any time, 任何地方, 从任何设备.

FiberLight was tasked with establishing a powerful network to reliably deliver the bandwidth capacity and heightened speed that would support these cloud-based applications, and required that campuses be redundantly connected to a trusted data center.

FiberLight provided a 10 gig backbone with an ethernet point-to-point connecting 来ISD’s 30 campuses, and linking two data centers with 10 gigs going to each site and mirroring for redundancy to deliver enhanced security and uptime.

课堂之外

In addition to the benefits 来ISD’s forward-thinking infrastructure provides to its school community, there have been numerous advantages that extend beyond the classroom. Their network has made it possible to livestream sporting events, 俱乐部聚会, and extracurricular activities. This has given flexibility to students, faculty, and communities. 来ISD can now live stream sporting events, 小组会议, 俱乐部, and students can participate in eGaming/ eSports programs.
