Starting in January 2023, a rolling programme of migrations will take place to move wired network connections to the new network infrastructure.

We are providing strategic change support to the STEM Grand Challenge

The next phase of the roll out will seek to directly replace AEP for assessments usually uploaded in pdf format to the AEP, in the Spring/Summer sessions for the academic year 2022/23. This will then allow the decommissioning of AEP at the end of 2023 all being well.

This means that all departments currently using AEP will need to have moved across to the new system for the 2023/24 exam sessions

What do these migrations mean?

The replacement network will provide updated network services which are compatible with current industry standards, improve the security capability and enhance sustainability, whilst increasing resilience and providing a more consistent user experience to enable innovation across campus.

As of mid-August, the project team has migrated:

• 119 Switch stacks 
• 336 Edge switches 
• 16128 switch interfaces/ports 
• 3645 wireless access points
