19,500 visitors celebrated the Museum of Modern Art's (MoMA) $425 million dollar renovation of its new facility. However IT members worked behind the scene to ensure the technology infrastructure ran smoothly.Join BDPA New York chapter as they welcome Randall Mosby, MoMA Manager of Network Services. Mr. Mosby will discuss his key role in implementing the museum internal network and technology upgrade. IT departments that provide the network for email applications, Internet access, and databases are as vital to museums as they are to any business, though they remain largely invisible to visitors. "Data is the most important thing in any network." says Mosby, listing personal and systemwide software, databases, and payroll programs as key elements. "I had to work on the migration of data, plus the implementation, administration, and building of servers, net devices, storage capacities, and the new wireless capability." To further complicate matters, the museum remained open in a temporary location during the renovation.
The job turned out to be no small task. Mosby led the team responsible for making sure the existing networks and technology infrastructure functioned smoothly while the staff was moved to another borough during the renovation. He had to upgrade the old network to specifications, oversee the building of a new network and infrastructure, and then smooth the transition between the two as the staff gradually moved back to the Manhattan office. Come hear Mosby discuss these network management challenges in person.
Here are the logistics:

Time: 6:30 - 9:00 pm
