Peyton outlines MOU, data-center role and redundancy plan for district channels
Summary
Peyton described a proposed MOU to share switch data center services, explained a phased approach to move operations, and summarized recent outages and redundancy strategies including interim Starlink backup for Reno channels.
Peyton walked the board through a proposed memorandum of understanding to share services between a switch data center and the TV district, describing a phased plan to move from current operations to a more resilient configuration. He said phase 2 is expected this winter into next year and described operating Reno channels off CC fiber since late 2023/early 2024.
Peyton recounted a recent multi-week outage at the switch data center tied to a misconfigured router and said carriers have since fixed the issue; he detailed redundancy tunnels (to Vegas, Salt Lake and Reno) and said the district is evaluating secondary fiber pricing from local carriers. He also noted that Starlink capacity could back up Reno channels temporarily during migration.
