Print Server: Microsoft Printing services are running on the Gateway 960 backup domain<br />
controller server. Printers are controlled by Microsoft Print Management Server software.<br />
Image Server: Imaging services are run on a Dell OptiPlex 755 desktop class computer. The<br />
software used for imaging systems is Norton Ghostcast 7.5 Corporate edition. We will be<br />
looking at replacing this software and computer within the next three years. The desktop will<br />
be replaced by a server class computer. The cost of server class computer hardware to run<br />
this software will be approximately $2,500 (based on pricing obtained March 2009 from<br />
Dell.com). The software will be replaced by new updated imaging software. The cost for<br />
the software upgrade will be approximately $4,000 (based on pricing obtained March 2009<br />
for REMC pricing).<br />
Apple Server: There are two Apple Dual G5 Servers which control all of the Apple Laptops in<br />
the Middle School. These were purchased in the 2006-2007 school year. The servers<br />
provide and control storage and login information for the Apple users. Every Middle School<br />
classroom currently has a set of student computers. The teachers also have an Apple<br />
computer to use. These servers are currently running Mac OS Server 10.4 and are able to be<br />
upgraded to the new Mac OS Server 10.5 so there is no need to purchase new server within<br />
the next 3 years.<br />
Printers: The District currently has a mix of HP and Lexmark brand networked laser printers<br />
located throughout buildings in the district to provide high-speed printing to all computer<br />
users. We also have Oce copiers in each building networked for high speed printing as well.<br />
All the buildings have at least one color laser printer. The District will need to maintain or<br />
replace the laser printers in the district to continue providing the current level of service. As<br />
need increases, the district will need to purchase new laser printers. The initial cost of the<br />
units and consumable costs will be the determining factors for which brand and model the<br />
district will purchase.<br />
