SD53 Network Summary
School District 53's computer networks consist of:
- Standard Category 5 wiring to nearly every room in every school.
- Wireless Network access in most areas of all schools with Cisco access points.
- Most network switches and connections are running at 100 megabit on the lan with gigabit backbone between switches within each school. Most switches are now Cisco brand.
- Schools are connected by a WAN consisting mostly ADSL and provided by PLNET and Telus and a minimum 1.5 megabit connection. Cawston Primary is running a 10 mb fibre connetion and PLNet is upgrading the 3 secondary schools and board office to fibre hopefully sometime in early 2009.
- Servers for the schools are:
- Windows 2003 server running on IBM servers at all schools supplemented with TLC School Connect

- the Board office Data Centre is running on an IBM Blade currently with 10 servers connecting to a SAN with 3 terrabytes of storage
- Backup Exec is running on a Backup Server with 1.5 terrabytes of disk backup and a 23 cartridge tape library
- We run AVG antivirus networked version from Grisoft on our Windows computers
- DeepFreeze from Faronics is on most of our computers and is one of the biggest IT trouble savers that we have.
- With PLNET we are putting in more blocking for security to limit network traffic and eliminate some unwanted internet use.
