Continuing the survey of Syracuse University facilities abroad, ITS staff members Andrew Joncas and Lee Badman ventured to Italy to meet and discuss improvements to the SU Florence IT environment. In Florence the duo teamed up with Marco Figueirdo of SU Europe and met with Sasha Perugini, director of Syracuse University Florence (SUF), Fabio Landi, SUF network coordinator, and other faculty, staff and students.
Badman and Joncas toured SUF's five campus buildings, and surveyed SUF network and computing resources, with a full schedule of meetings to discuss network upgrades and installations. They brought home a lot of information and are now in the process of evaluating options for the SUF IT environment. Check out their photos from Florence in Collage.
The goal of this effort is to do for SU Florence what ITS did for the Faraday House, home of the Syracuse University London Program, where the network was upgraded to 100% wireless coverage and now functions as an extension of the SU campus network.
