ITS Video Statistics

• 55,086 hours July 06 - June 07
• Roughly 100 conferences / day
• 199 NCVIP sites
• 78 NCIH sites
• 277 Total sites in the scheduler
• 32 Developing sites

4
Major Reasons for Migration

• Industry standard moving from NCIH (H.320) to
  Video Over IP (H.323)
• All sites under one operating standard--H.323
• Ability to offer video services to more K-12
  educational institutions under same funding
  structure
• The ATM NCIH network is going away

5
DPI Funding

• DPI will continue to pay the monthly video
  service fee for all migrating sites and new sites
  on a case by case basis.
• Site pays for circuit and internet connection.
• Existing internet connection may have enough
  bandwidth to support video over IP and your data
  traffic.

6
E-Rate Implications

• Currently IP Video (H.323) Service fee not
  eligible for E-Rate funding.
• IP Video sites will not participate in the NCIH
  E-Rate Consortium.
• E-Rate may be filed for internet connectivity by
  the school districts.
• Check back regularly

7
Migration Steps Summary

• Contact your ITS Video Services Regional
  Coordinator through ITS Service Desk
• Evaluate bandwidth requirements for data and
  video on your campus
• Obtain quote from ITS if keeping your circuit or
  upgrading your circuit.

8
Migration Steps Summary

• Review Video Over IP Guidelines document for LAN
  traversal and Quality of Service (QoS)
  recommendations
• Evaluate codec equipment
• Galaxy and Appsview VTELS beyond end-of-life
• No longer supported by VTEL
• Not recommended for Video over IP
• ITS maintains a list of certified Codecs

9
Migration Steps Summary

• Submit appropriate paperwork to ITS
• STS-WSQ Form (To request circuit w/QoS quote)
• STS-01 Form (To cancel your circuit/NCIH Service)
• STS-01 Form (To upgrade your circuit w/QoS)
• VNS-01 Form (To order your new Video over IP
  service)
• IP Video Service Level Agreement Signature page
• IP Video Service Certification Form

10
Migration Steps Summary

• Certify new connection (regardless of ISP
  provider)
• Allow time for NCVIP (NC Video over IP) Web
  Scheduler training

11
Migration Milestones

• Community Colleges migrated 2005-2006
• E-Rate filing dates mid November January
• K-12 and State agency sites are migrating now
  through October 31, 2008

• Real World Case Study

18

• Current ITS Managed WAN Offerings
• http//www.its.state.nc.us/ServiceCatalog/WideArea
  NetworkWAN.asp
• T1-ATM QoS
• 3 mb ATM QoS
• 6 mb ATM QoS
• 10 mb Metro E
• 20 mb Metro E
• 45 mb Metro E
• 100mb Metro E
• Telcos also provide these options

• If you choose to implement VLANS and QoS
• Both the WAN and LAN must be designed for QoS
• To support VLANS, WAN must be ordered correctly
• To support QoS, WAN must be ordered correctly
• Better Quality means higher cost
• Bandwidth is not shared but is separated
• Unused video bandwidth will not be given to data

21

• If you choose not to implement VLANS and QoS
• The overall quality will be reduced
• The configuration will be less complex
• The cost to implement will be lower
• You may experience increased packet loss
• Bandwidth is being shared by data and video
• High utilization of data will lower the quality
  of video
