New network helps meet cost
containment goals
Because UNM has purchased PoE-enabled HP switches,
the University saves approximately $400 every time
they need to move/add/drop a connection for devices
such as VoIP phones, wireless access devices, security
cameras, and credit and access card scanners. Rather
than pay for a technician or electrician to install an
independently-powered outlet or port, UNM networking
staff can simply plug into a PoE+-powered port.
In total, officials estimate the standardization of the
institution’s edge network will save (or help avoid)
approximately $1.4 million over the next several
years. These savings include initial acquisition costs
(CAPEX) and ongoing operational and support costs
(OPEX) thanks to the HP Lifetime Warranty, as well as
through improved management, reliability and lower
licensing costs provided by common management tools,
including HP IMC and IRF software. These savings will
be reinvested, enabling the continued enhancement of
UNM’s network infrastructure and capabilities.
“A critical goal for us is to provide a converged network
that delivers voice, data and video – everything – on
one network infrastructure, simplifying management and
service delivery,” says Gonzales. “By standardizing our
network edge devices with HP Networking, we achieved
the best possible outcome. We not only met our goals
in support of our educational mission, but also achieved
significant purchasing efficiency, and both CAPEX and
OPEX savings. At the same time, we have reinvented
our network infrastructure to be more responsive to
our research community and positioned the network,
not only on campus, but regionally and nationally as
an environment that supports the University’s primary
research and teaching missions, including increased
use of distance learning, virtual conferences, and
greater collaboration.”
