Previously, classes and offices of Penn State's School of Information Sciences and Technology and Department of Computer Science and Engineering were dispersed across the University Park campus. The university sought a powerful, enterprise-quality IT infrastructure that would support the computer sciences, IT, and engineering curricula. The units required a high-speed network with the reliability to ensure that the network was always available to students. Penn State looked no further than to 3Com to provide the Information Sciences and Technology building's enterprise-level, end-to-end connectivity it required. Today, the 3Com network is dramatically accelerating the Information Sciences and Technology students' and faculty's research and collaboration, while ably supporting the building's IP security cameras.
