Background City of Fort Collins network and telecommunications infrastructure spans 76 locations within 54 square miles. The environment contains 800 switches, routers, and other network equipment. Community services supported include Electric, Water, Water Reclamation, and Stormwater utilities, Police, Fire, Parks and Recreation, Transportation, and public Libraries. WAN architecture is comprised of a redundant core configuration connecting the data center at one location with the disaster recovery location. The data center and disaster recovery facilities are geographically separated along a 26 mile community-wide fiber optic ring.
