Memorial’s infrastructure portfolio is valued at $1.57B. | Memorial has one of the largest and most complex IT environments in the province. |
Historically, Memorial received funding from the provincial government for the deferred maintenance program, in the amount of $10M annually, which ended effective fiscal 2015-16. | The IT infrastructure spans multiple campuses and is spread out over 16 data centres containing more than 1000 servers and more than 9 pedabytes of electronic data storage. |
Due to further budget reductions, at this time, the Campus Renewal Fee is the only revenue funding deferred maintenance. The projected funding amount in 2018-19 and 2019-20 is $7.2M annually. | Additionally, an average of 30,000 devices are connected daily to Memorial’s wired and wireless networks; 320,000 calls per month are placed over Memorial's VoIP phone system and ~3.9 million calls per year are received by 20 call centres; 1 billion firewall requests every 8 days. |
$450M in deferred maintenance needs have been identified for Memorial’s buildings. | At present, approximately two-thirds of Memorial’s IT infrastructure is classified as end of life. |
The facilities condition index (FCI) measures relative condition of a building or facility on a scale: 0-5% (Excellent to Good Condition), 5-10% (Good to Fair Condition), 10-20% (Fair to Poor Condition). The university’s target is 12%, but is currently at about 28.9%. | Core IT required investments is approximately $12M to address end of life infrastructure with an additional $3-4M required in distributed units to address immediate IT requirements in these respective areas. |
At the projected spending level of $7.2M annually, Memorial will continue to experience additional deferred maintenance, which will result in a projected FCI of 38% in 10 years. | Memorial's network (MUNET) is the number one information technology priority and requires $3-4M to upgrade. |
Annual funding requirements to maintain the current conditions is $23.1M and to improve FCI to 10% in 10 years Memorial would need to spend $63.4M per year. | Additional areas of priority include upgrades to the wireless network, VoIP phones, and data centres. |
