Project Description
 

Assiut University network is one of the oldest Universities networks in Egypt as it was established in 1996. It provides internet service to all the faculties, departments, laboratories, and Staff of Assiut University.

This project aims at improving the performance, productivity, security and reliability of the network via upgrading the network infrastructure, equipment, servers and software.  The project will serve as the main backbone to many major ongoing projects in the University such as E-learning, digital library, and University information systems.

The main objectives of the project can be summarized as follows:

  • Upgrading the network infrastructure by increasing the main connection rate to the internet from 2 Mbps to 32Mbps.

  •  Improving the network services via new mail, web, and domain servers in addition to the required servers for digital library, E-learning and information system projects.

  •  Continuity of network services by employing uninterruptible power supplies.

  •  Improved network security by providing the network with hardware /software firewall and anti-virus, anti-spam protection systems.

To fulfill these objectives, the work plan of the project consists of the following stages.

  • Analysis of the existing network performance.

  • Proposal of the new network design, topology and equipment.

  • Purchase of the required servers, equipment and software.

  •  Installation of the purchased equipment.

  • Operation and testing of the network.

  • Tuning the network for best performance.

  •  Submission of final report on the project.

At The end of the project, the following outcomes will be obtained:

  • Faster connection rate all over university network.

  • Improved mail and web service to all the university network users.

  • Continuous operation of the network services.

  • Enhanced security and protection against viruses and hackers.

The project goals can be achieved if the required funds have been allocated to the project according to the project budget and time plan. Other risks may also face the project progress such as:

  • The increase in the price of equipment above that estimated in the project budget.

  • Delays in the delivery of equipment requested from the contracted companies/vendors and accordingly, newer updated equipment may emerge.

  • Delay in the installation and operation of the purchased equipment.
