The current network consists of 15 servers that are all connected to a KVM for management. On the network side each server runs to a HP ProCurve switch that pushes a full gigabit backbone to and from each device on the network. On the security side, a new Cisco ASA was put in place to help control incoming traffic, and a Barracuda proxy blocks malicious websites and outgoing requests that are not permitted. The school district is also fitted with key fob controlled entry on the door systems, and a range of 64 cameras that cover the school ground which is recording 24/7.
