CERTIFIED - City of Deltona, Florida

City of Deltona, Florida
Capital Equipment Replacement Fund
Desktop/Laptop Replacements FY 10/11: $100,000
The current desktop/laptops have been installed for 5 years or more and currently most systems
are out of warranty for service or parts. This has increased maintenance costs by IT for labor and
parts, increased downtime by staff, and ultimately results in a reduction of services throughout
the City in every department.
Laptops for EOC Functions (Finance Dept.) FY 10/11: $3,500
The purchasing function, (ability to contact vendors, buy supplies and search availability via
internet), and the finance function, (A/P processing, payroll processing to a minimal degree, and
monitoring cash flow between banks & investments), are vital functions in the event of a
hurricane or a major flooding event. The requested laptops will enable critical workflow to
continue without interruption. All other City departments have laptops for EOC functions.
Replacement Blades FY 10/11: $10,000
The City has to retire servers that can no longer be supported by our vendor. Blade technology is
allowing us to virtualize and reduce costs when server replacements continue to come up. We
risk servers failing and losing service for departments, resulting in loss of time for employees
and the City.
WAN Optimization FY 10/11: $20,000
The WAN Optimization project will allow us to use a remote site as a Disaster Recovery site,
giving the City the capability to send data via network circuits to another site in case of a
disaster. In order to provide redundancy for all critical systems, we need to have a remote
location that can bring our critical data online. Currently we utilize tapes but they have a short
shelf life and getting back online could take weeks.
Virtual Desktop Test Implementation FY 10/11 $10,000
Virtualization software is maturing and allowing us to provide virtual desktops that eliminate the
cost of desktop replacements. Other costs such as software and server hardware will also be
significantly less. In addition, staff time required to deploy new desktops would be reduced.
Physical Security Solution FY 10/11 $50,000
The intent of the Physical Security Solution project is to secure areas of the City network
infrastructure with physical security solutions such as cameras. The City is experiencing
exposure in certain areas and the project will reduce missing hardware and allow for better
tracking of the City’s areas.
