= =  In today’s learning environments the need for accessible and reliable network, storage and workstation efficiency is constantly becoming an issue students and faculty face every day. In order for students to learn and become proficient in new hardware and software developments they must be exposed to current, emerging, and future computing technologies that are being used today. This proposal is for the large investment in a virtualized data center with thin and full client integration network and that will benefit the following areas of student learning: Investing in these types of different technologies will allow students to interact with several technologies and the use of those technologies to increase their skills and computer literacy. By understanding the core functions of the technology in place and the use for it, students will not only comprehend the immediate scope but at the same time witness the larger reason for use of technology at school. This proposal focuses on the initial development of the core services and hardware required for the integration of technology into everyday tasks and curriculum. This proposal is designed to outline the necessary hardware and software for the development of a next generation virtualized data center relying on virtualization technologies and integrating a full and thin client network. This initial configuration will allow for a robust network infrastructure capable of supporting end user mobility to the highest capacity, data storage and recovery, heavy end-user traffic, and while at the same time be energy efficient and scalable for future growth. The following pages outline the hardware and software with a rational for each section. An itemized budget is also available at the end of this proposal with specific details on hardware. = <span style="font-weight: normal; color: #548dd4; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> = <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> =<span style="color: #548dd4; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> = =<span style="mso-bookmark: _Toc231545863;"> <span style="font-weight: normal; color: #548dd4; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> = <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">
