Data Common GoodCommon Good funding of the University's network introduces a fixed-cost financial model to managing the network. As a consequence, prudent management of the network's resources and unbudgeted expenses is critical. Per-connection costs are no longer passed directly to the consumer, which could potentially create a perception that network connections are "free". In this context the new common good/central funding model changes the dynamics associated with network service provisioning and infrastructure capacity. OIT is challenged to provide ubiquitous network access to users while at the same time, holding the line on unexpected/unbudgeted costs. ETHJK Network ManagementOIT is developing a network infrastructure capacity planning process that identifies excess network port capacity and earmarks it for redistribution where necessary.
Converting a Private LAN to the OIT Managed NetworkBecause indirect cost recovery creates the perception that 'everyone pays the same', privately managed networks may ask that OIT assume network management responsibilities. Conversion to University managed network encompasses the following elements:
