With the emergence of such technologies as VoIP, server virtualization and wireless networking, the lines between network, systems and applications groups keep getting blurrier.
Network World Editor Bob Brown recently conducted separate interviews with three members of the 38-person IT team at Babson College, a business school for 3,300 students based in Wellesley, Mass., to gain insight into the perspectives of members from different departments and to learn how they are coordinating their efforts to manage a 9,000-port network (plus 300 wireless access points) across roughly 60 buildings.
The school is pushing hard on three big projects: Digital Babson, an initiative to get Babson content and thought leadership online; next-generation application infrastructure; and network/server architecture enhancements.
