The lab resembles a New York Stock Exchange specialist post surrounded by floor broker booths. Real-time data and analytical tools are provided by Reuters and displayed on Daktronics' electronic display boards and a 20-foot electronic stock ticker. The room also has a dedicated T-1 data communications line to Reuter's Wall Street office and two 42-inch monitors that will display live cable news feeds. In addition, the school uses Sun Microsystems servers, terminals, and software for its Netcentricity and Supply Chain Management lab. The lab also is equipped with applications for real-time supply chain optimization and planning, Oracle's ERP applications, high-speed networks, wireless computing, and real-time e-business infrastructure software.
