SOFTWARE DONATION BENEFITS BOISE STATE NETWORKING PROGRAM

Castle Rock Computing of Saratoga, Calif., has donated software to the networking and telecommunications program at Boise State University’s College of Business and Economics. The recent donation marks the company’s second to the program in two years.

Seven copies of the company’s most sophisticated network management products — SNMPc Enterprise Edition — are capable of managing networks with up to 25,000 devices each. The program includes the ability to remotely manage distributed networks no matter how geographically dispersed they may be. The software is valued at more than $20,000. Castle Rock also donated $28,000 worth of software in October 2001.

The software is used for the networking management class held in the department’s networking and telecommunication teaching lab, funded in part by a grant from the Micron Technology Foundation. Boise State is one of only a handful of universities in the country that offers a degree in networking and telecommunications.
