Server & Storage Infrastructure
This project includes funding for the hardware and licensing to allow for the ongoing growth associated with our server and storage infrastructure.
It allows for the following:
- Funding the replacement of aging hardware
- Funding for the ongoing, natural growth of the infrastructure
- Centralizing the infrastructure replacement process
- Supporting the ongoing needs of County software applications
This funding will allow the County to continue to take a proactive approach to support current and future hardware requirements related to new applications being introduced and current applications being expanded throughout the County. By looking at these systems more holistically, from an enterprise view versus department by department, we will discover process improvements and new platform functionality not available to the County today by making investments that benefit the County overall.
We see significant growth in our server and storage environment, and as such, we will need to forecast future needs and purchase appropriately. If we fail to anticipate needs, we could run into service issues with our systems not being able to accommodate our users' needs.
