The new museum employs a terrestrial T1 line from Verizon, and a
wireless T3 from Towerstream. We load balance on the router/firewall
level. NY has a unique problem, by which the last mile of cable is
always owned by Verizon, making it difficult should problems start to
occur. This combination works for us, and so far we had very little
reliability problems.

Floyd, we use 4xT1 for all of our access, including Exchange and staff
use. It sounds like you are about our size and this is sufficient for
our needs.

Subject: [MCN-L] Internet access for a mid-size institution
We are a mid-size museum (NYC) and we have a T-1 (1.5 Mbps) for our
exchange server and to serve our collections database over the web and
we use a Time Warner cable to allow about 250 employees to access the
net which gives us (10 Mbps down and 1.5 up) for a low price. This has
worked fine for a year but TW is not really a business class solution
and recently we have had some problems with them - enough to affect our
business day and make us reconsider.
My question is what solutions are other mid-size museums using that give
enough bandwidth for all of your business activities and at what kind of
price?

=============================================================
You are cordially invited to the next ISKO UK afternoon event:
RECORDS AND INFORMATION MANAGEMENT IN TRANSITION
16 September 2009 14.00-18.00; registration starts 13.30
VENUE: University College London, Cruciform Building
FEE: ?20.00 (ISKO members and students FREE)
Good governance, accountability, transparency, freedom of information:
noble
aims for our society but achieving them depends on keeping and being
able to
find records of our dealings. Are we up to it? Do we have systems and
software
clever enough and robust enough to cope with today's massive tide of
data? Do we
need to move our own habits and practices up a gear?
To address these questions and the practical reality of today's
challenges we
have a team of speakers, battle-hardened from long experience as
consultants
and/or practitioners.
To see the full programme and to book your place go to the event's
website at
http://www.iskouk.org/rm_sep2009.htm
This ISKO UK Seminar is organized in cooperation with the UCL
Department for Information Studies.
We look forward to seeing you in September!
