Nice thread and solid work. The district I work in is 90-95% free and reduced lunch. I inherited a bit of a mess but slowly and surely working to get it all better.

Nice to see someone else using Fortigates. We have a 3040B here. Haven't had much luck with v5 of their firmware. Still quite buggy and causes randoms crashes and lock up's so I went back to v4 MR3 Patch 12

I've heard some good things about Aruba but have not had any hands on with them yet. We have their controller less setups in some clients and they seem to be pretty solid.

I'm a gear whore. It's not out of the realm of possibilities.

Same here. I'm thinking about picking one up just because of reasons lol.

Want. All of it.

Got a shipment of 3750X's today that will be replacing old 2950's at 10 of our schools

What are the specs on those supermicro servers and the storage setup?

Ill have to look into the priority 1 and 2 stuff. I started in the district in August so Im still very new to this whole thing. Our district has a high transient rate as well as a very high rate of free/reduced lunches(which apparently plays into the e-rate deal). For all of the new gear that...

We have over 7,000 students for our entire district that has 11 schools in it. Unfortunately we fall under E-rate for most of our stuff so its damn near impossible for me to pitch any type of next level upgrades like that for the district because it would take god knows how long for it to...
