Specifications include, but are not limited to: Mohave Community College is interested in vendors that can satisfy the current needs/standards of the MCC cloud/network as well as provide additional functionality. These are: • Cloud shall be Ethernet compatible effecting handoff to the various MCC campuses/nodes through L3 switches/routers/firewalls and supporting Ethernet connectivity between the campuses. o Seamless support for Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANS) across the network/cloud o Ability to support end to end encryption of data traffic at the hardware/software level across the cloud/network o Ability to support encrypted data traffic without intermediate steps to decrypt/encrypt for routing needs • The college will also entertain the idea/implementation of individual internet links to all sites connected with a site to site VPN should this option prove beneficial to the budget and goals of the college. • Supports all college data, voice over IP (VOIP), interactive television (ITV/H.323) as well as other IP based protocols. o Commitment to support additional protocols as released and accepted as industry standard. o Notice: MCC will not accept bid speeds slower than 500 mbps to any site with the Exception of the BHC Legacy Connection and Peach Springs Location. • Campus/Learning Center/Datacenter o Link to the Kingman Neal campus shall be at 2 Gbps - 10 Gbps – if pricing for intermediate speeds are available include those prices in your response. o Links to the Datacenter shall be at 2 Gbps to 10 Gbps – if pricing for intermediate speeds are available include those prices in your response. o Link to the North Mohave campus, Kingman Beale Street, Peach Springs, and DAC shall be at 500 Mbps -10Gbps – if pricing for intermediate speeds are available include those prices in your response. o Links to remaining Campus/Learning Centers shall be at 1 Gbps – 10 Gbps– if pricing for intermediate speeds are available include those prices in your response. o Link to BHC Legacy shall be at 15 Mbps DIA connection. o Link to Peach Springs Location shall be at 100 Mbps o Ability to increase speeds on individual links to 135% of base speed during peak times based on the needs of MCC (registration for example) with no contract modifications. Reducing speed to base speed allowed after peak times. o Ability to bring alternate sites into the cloud at 25 Mbps full duplex for special events as necessary (graduation. . .). Special events are time specific and typically do not exceed 7 business days o All Campus/Learning Center nodes will terminate into the cloud so that should one link/node fail all other links/nodes are still communicating to the cloud o Redundant connections should be available for each node/link into the cloud such that should the primary link fail the alternate link will come on line. o Speed of the redundant link can be identified as 50% of primary base speed
