The ENA Experience…

Dedicated Customer Support

From Infrastructure to the Cloud

 Broadband  Wi-Fi  Video  Cloud Computing

KEY – Find a technology partner that will work closely with you to achieve the desired result

• At the onset of Tusculum’s distance education program, bandwidth topped out at 45 Mbps
• A complete reinvention of the network infrastructure first began in August of 2011
• Information Systems began exploring how to increase the bandwidth level. Decided to

replace the three different bandwidth providers with one managed solution

• This solution gained us four times the bandwidth. It also brought the monitoring and

reporting of our bandwidth usage under one roof, allowing for detailed reporting of usage statistics

• Tusculum partnered with ENA to increase our bandwidth to 100 Mbps. Due to the increase

in our online enrollments, we then upgraded to 200 Mbps. In Fall 2016, Tusculum became a 1 Gbps college campus.

• This solution also brought our off-campus Tusculum College sites onto one network,

allowing us to extend more managed services to Morristown and Knoxville campus locations.

Building a Resilient Infrastructure

• Deployed ENA Air, a managed Wi-Fi solution, to provide

students with seamless campus-wide connectivity

• Planning for the future
• Scalability
• Capacity
• Resiliency
• Mobility

Managed Wi-Fi

• Began using video conferencing technologies to bridge distance gaps
• Initially purchased Tandberg technology with grant funds
• Cost-prohibitive for long-term sustainability and growth
• Made the decision to purchase and deploy a cloud-based video

conferencing solution – Video Collaboration Powered by Zoom

Video Conferencing

The Fall 2015 semester saw the

• nline program

generate almost $900,000.00 in revenue Spring 2017

• 140 sections
• Over 900

enrollments

Annual Growth

• Wanted to find a means to host Moodle
• Researched a variety of cloud solutions
• Selected ENA TrustCompute
• Building a collaborative Moodle with five other colleges using new

cloud solution

• Next steps and vision for the cloud

Cloud Strategies

Opportunistic Cloud Seeking out cloud solutions New services may remain on premises Choosing cloud when benefits are seen Cloud First Cloud at top of decision-making chain Cloud fulfills majority of needs Migration planning for legacy services

Assessing the Value of Cloud Computing

Identify your objectives Assess the cost Assess your technology Evaluate vendor offerings One size does not fit all!

What is right for your organization?

Taking a second look at the cloud

The tipping point

Significant new investment looming Significant resource constraints Change to risk profile Change in budget / funding Change in on premise application scope (shrinking data center)
