Hi All
A new CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) device has been chosen to replace the Cisco 3550/3560 switches in all KCN secondary schools. This device has been chosen as it provides best of breed performance for IP Routing with the additional advantage of “on box” firewall functionality and DMZ hosting, meaning secondary schools will now be able to host external services within their network without the need for an additional PiX firewall device.
The Unisys PMO should be contacting the first phase schools within the next couple of weeks for installation over the next two months. Phase two schools will be upgraded in conjunction with the planned Websense server upgrades beginning next term.
For more information please see the attached information sheet or visit the Cisco web site.
For further details, please feel free to contact a member of the KCN Team.

As we move the focus from connecting schools to continual service improvement, an appraisal of the performance of the Kent Communuty Network (KCN) for 2006 was an important baseline. The report gives an overview of the KCN in a number of aspects including technical performance and service delivery.
We are proud of the technical capability of KCN, but there is always more work to do to expand the facilties available. Please see the attached report, or look at the broadband pages on www.eiskent.co.uk.
