Oregon DPSST New Campus to Include Storage Area Network

The Oregon Department of Public Safety, Standards & Training ("DPSST") has awarded InterNetwork Experts Inc. a contract to design and implement a network for the agency's new 212-acre campus in Salem. The project supports a much-anticipated consolidation and centralization of services and facilities for the DPSST.

For the past 20 years the DPSST agency has been housed in facilities at Western Oregon University and is now moving to its own 212-acre campus facility in Salem, the state capitol.

The DPSST's mission is to promote excellence in public safety through the development of professional standards and the delivery of quality training. DPSST currently serves more than 32,000 public safety providers throughout the state, with programs that span the entire field of public safety, including city and county law enforcement, port, mass transit, school district, Indian reservation, and railroad police, fire service personnel, investigators in the criminal justice division and the state lottery, city, county, and state corrections officers, adult parole and probation officers, polygraphers, telecommunication officers and emergency medical dispatchers and private security officers.

Under the contract InterNetwork Experts will design, source and implement the new Cisco-based network, which will support 150 local teachers, students and staff members. The project also includes server migration services and a storage area network solution.
