Upgrades give MSU faster, more mobile-friendly computer network

At the heart of the ongoing series of improvements to the computer systems is a new network core that has a capacity of 100 gigabits per second, the engine driving future network expansion.

While the Montana State University campus continues to see record numbers of students, behind-the-scenes upgrades to MSU’s computer network has the university’s information technology system ready to meet future growth.

From improved core capacity to a newly unified log-in system to improved and expanded wireless networks across campus, the series of improvements launched by MSU’s Information Technology Center addresses the demands of record enrollment, data-intensive research and the rapid proliferation of personal wireless devices, as well as Internet traffic to websites rich in multimedia and complex graphics.
