IMPACT TO STAFF/RESOURCES: The FY 2017-18 Information Technology budget includes funds of $18,000 in the District budget for these line item purchases.
BACKGROUND: The District IT Infrastructure supports all facets of District’s computing needs including e-mail, Data Storage, Network and Data Security, Water Demand Database Application, GIS Application and Storage, Web Hosting, Financial Applications, SQL server databases and numerous other needs. The District currently houses 8 physical production servers with various purchase dates between 2003 and 2016. Netapp storage devices were purchased in 2013. These new storage devices will augment the existing infrastructure and help reduce power and space requirements while providing much-needed storage capacity. Workstations will replace existing staff workstations and laptops/tablets will assist with an increasingly mobile workforce.
