Converge Special Report: Campus Technology Infrastructure

Education is being transformed. As digital technologies are applied across the entire education ecosystem they are becoming indispensable to improve learning, control costs and provide a safer environment. By necessity, schools have become more reliant than ever before on an infrastructure that can support their increasing technology demands. This infrastructure must be available 24/7. It must be able to meet a wide range of applications and unusual spikes in load. It must be secure. It must be adaptable to new technologies — whether in the classroom, in the back office or on the Web.

The Q3 Special Report investigates the major digital infrastructure technologies on P-20 campuses, including voice, data and video infrastructures as well as their unified applications. It discuss how these infrastructures are equipped, deployed, secured and managed while giving special attention to how these systems are ready to accommodate emerging technologies in the classroom as well as the back office. The report identifies trends that support campus infrastructures, including the movement to third-party providers and the focus on green and sustainable solutions.
