NJEDge.Net was created to provide and support a wide variety of technology needs and requirements of the higher education institutions located in the state of New Jersey. NJEDge.Net wanted to work with companies that could help the consortium move the state of New Jersey to the forefront of technology-mediated, educational practices. More specifically, the New Jersey President's Council wanted to build an advanced network that would link all of its colleges and universities and achieve economies of scale. One of the significant challenges encountered by NJEDge.Net was to develop this network solution without changing consortium members' existing LAN and WAN access methods, and while preserving the privacy of members' intranet traffic. Verizon provided NJEDge.Net with a comprehensive, statewide IP-VPN solution - delivered over the MPLS-enabled network, built end-to-end with Cisco Systems equipment.
