This item is on the agenda for your consideration in making
upgrades to our C network. The modifications that we are
considering at this time include:
1) Upgradinj the file server from a 386 to a 486
2) Adding a controller card necessary for the 486 machine
3) Upgrading our storage from 300 MB to 900 MB of hard drive
4) Upgrading our RAM from 6 MB to 8 MB
5) Upgrading the network software from v2.15 to v3.11
6) Purchasing block of service time to, accomplish the task
Over the past several months we have had problems related to the
network softwar and concerns with the speed of operations in
certain areas. We feel that the upgrades that are being proposed
would alleviate many of these problems and concerns. Another
issue that was taken into consideration is the fact that if we
purchase the x3,11, network software before October 31, 1992, we
will be able to receive Novell's newest upgrade, which will be
released sometime next year, for free.. We could possibly save up,
to $2,000-3,000 by making this purchase now.
This project was not budgeted for this year. I have monies in
certain areas o my budget along with monies left over in the
General Governm nt budget for the 1991 audit fees that will cover
the total cost f these modifications. I am proposing to spend
an amount not t exceed $7,000 from the account 101-41520-01-391
for the entire project so the costs are easily identified and
leave balances in the other areas of the budgets to cover the
deficit that will show up in that account number.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to approve expenditures not exceeding $7,000
for the modifications and enhancements to our existing PC network.
These expenditures would come from the account number 101-41520-01-391.
