Syracuse University Lab
Close working relationships with network engineers, IT management and academic researchers creates the value that is uniquely Network Computing. Each review, each product, each technology, and each issue is considered within the context of the real world. We focus on testing network and systems management, protocol and cable analysis, management systems, security and VPNs, directories, collaboration, wireless and VoIP solutions in our Syracuse Labs. Our five full-time technology editors, testing in the two working labs within the campus network, are all network and IT professionals. This background, outreach to other network professionals, and the daily implementation and management of networked solutions is the backdrop for all tests and evaluations. This has been a long relationship, starting in 1993, which has allowed us to track and participate in the university's evolution from Main Frame centric processor and network, to Client Server, to thin client multi-tier application architecture. The architecture has moved from 3270, Arcnet, Token Ring, ThickNet Ethernet, ThinNet Ethernet, 10BaseT, to 100 and 1000-based Ethernet. We've considered, struggled and deployed FDDI and ATM, along with everyone else. While primarily a campus network, long distance learning and metropolitan access issues has also given rise to newer broadband WAN and MAN access deployments, including dark fiber, FDDI, Gigabit, VPNs and wireless.
