Server Infrastructure Growth
|
Project Summary
- Bond Allocation: $750,000
- Vendor: TBD
Description:
Provide for additional server equipment to support growth from student and staff usage.
Background/Justification:
Every year student and staff usage grows by 20 to 25% as it relates to storage, file, web and email services provided by the district. Storage capacity is closely related to the amount of new staff and students the district acquires each year. In recent years storage needs have accelerated due to student and staff created content, virtualization, rich media, and database growth. The introduction of Dashboards and data warehousing projects required by the state also has a direct impact. This line item expands the capabilities of the current server infrastructure as well as purchasing new units.
We utilize technology that provides an opportunity to re-use the chassis and connection components for two retrofit cycles, resulting in approximately 40% savings. Most existing standalone servers will be eliminated by 2012. This strategy allows us to realize savings in not only equipment replacement costs but operating costs such as power, AC and maintenance.
