A Smart, New Communications Infrastructure Enhances Collaborative Capabilities at the University Of North Carolina at Wilmington
Overview The University of North Carolina at Wilmington (UNC Wilmington) is one of the fastest growing campuses in the UNC system. The school has grown dramatically over the last decade-from a regional campus serving a mostly undergraduate population of 6,000 to a national university consisting of a mixed graduate and undergraduate population of 10,000. One component of the system that failed to keep pace with the rapid growth of the university was the school's overburdened messaging infrastructure. Over the years, faculty had augmented the school's text-based VMS mail with a variety of graphical e-mail clients. Installation of fiber optic cable in 1993 improved data network speeds, but the hodgepodge of different e-mail clients and the increasing demand on e-mail turned into a huge support headache for IT. UNC Wilmington already used Microsoft Windows operating systems and the Microsoft Office suite as its standard client software. Under the Microsoft Campus Agreement licensing program, the school had rights to new versions of Microsoft client software for faculty and staff, including the Microsoft Outlook client. UNC Wilmington decided to migrate its e-mail infrastructure to Microsoft Exchange 2000.
