Infrastructure

Charles Drew University's infrastructure is organized around a TCP/IP Gigabit Fiber Campus Backbone Network (CBN). The Department maintains servers, workstations, high speed switches, routers and network management modules attached to this backbone. The TCP/IP allows for transmission of voice, video and data at high speeds on a single network. Our network supports high-definition videoconferencing, online collaboration services, and streaming media delivery. Through our membership in the Internet2 consortium, and partnerships with the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, and the USC Los Nettos network, the University has direct access to high-performance research networks throughout the country.
