Setup and Configuration
IV. CURRENT ENVIRONMENT
A. Network
CSD is part of the Utah Education Network (UEN) and part of the Utah backbone that extends from the north at Utah State University to Dixie State College in St. George, Utah. Our district currently has two 1 Gb Ethernet connections to the POP located at Salt Lake Community College.
The Canyons School District network is a classic hub and spoke architecture. The Data Center is located at the Canyons Support Services Center (CSSC) and is the hub of our network.
We currently have a single point of ingress/egress to the Internet through a Cisco 6503 provided by UEN & Century Link. A Cisco 6506 is the aggregation point to our Data Center which consists of 1 Gb Ethernet connections to approximately 50 locations. Internally, we have 10 Gb links between the Cisco 6506 and an HP A9512 switch, the core device of the Canyons School District network. We currently have three HP blade enclosures housing HP blade servers. The majority of systems are running on the blades are virtual servers. One of the blade enclosures is connected by a 10 Gb link to the A9512. The other two enclosures are connected to the A9512 by a 1 Gb link.
A large percentage of our production data is located on a 3PAR F400 Storage Area Network (SAN) that is connected via Fiber Channel to our blade enclosures using Brocade switches. We also have an HP EVA6000 SAN connected via Fiber Channel to the blade enclosures using the same set of Brocade switches. The EVA6000 is
reaching its end of it and we expect it will be decommissioned in the next year. It is being replaced with an HP Modular Smart Array P2000 G3 and will be connected via Fiber Channel to the blade enclosures using the same set of Brocade switches noted above.
Our WAN consists of single 1 Gb Ethernet links to all of our schools through the Cisco 6506 and Cisco switch at each school. We use the lower half of a Class B address space.
Every school has a core HP 4800/5800 core switch that aggregates all school connectivity and connects to the Cisco switch. Our firewall is a Palo AltoPA-5050 appliance.
alternate route to/from CSSC.
B. Backup and Disaster Recovery Topology
CSD currently uses Symantec Netbackup as our primary backup software in addition to simple file archival. Netbackup currently backs up a little less than six Terabytes of front-end data. There are also other data that are directly backed up to disk without utilizing Netback for short-term backups and a tape library for long-term backup archival. The device we currently use for tape backup is an HP MSL 6000 that uses LTO-3 media. We have purchased an HP MSL 2024 Ultrium 6250 Tape library that utilizes LTO-6 media to replace the HP MSL 6000 library, and this
project need to include assistance with migration of archived data from tape-to-tape of the old device to the new device.
We maintain an offsite server that hosts our student, personnel, and financial systems in addition to an Exchange mailbox database server at our Canyons Administration Building (CAB).
