This complex set of connections ties <br />technology devices, application systems and services together. The City's network serves the <br />business operations of all Agencies and Departments providing connectivity between every City <br />operating location. It also connects the City to the outside computerized world. <br />A key component of the City network is a core router servicing City Hall. This piece of network <br />gear performs as the main switching computer used on the primary connection links (backbone) <br />of the City Hall portion of the City network. This switching computer requires an abundance of <br />power since it is specialized to transfer large data volumes. The City Hall core switch supports <br />over 165 servers; which, host all critical computing functions including Lawson financial system, <br />the payroll system, the Library management systems, SAPIN system, email services, Internet <br />services, etc. The current core router has reached its useful life and manufacturers support <br />period. The volume of City Hall network traffic continues to increase and in order to <br />accommodate the traffic volume the core router must be replaced. <br />22C -1 <br />
