coming from the other unmanaged switches. This will allow us the better address network issues and have a better handle on our overall Computer network health. Desired Outcomes It is desired that at the end of this project we will have a better IT policy in place as well as additional storage and more assured reliability across several critical services as well as services. We also hope to have a more efficient way to determine network congestion and other issues that creep up through the deployment of a new managed switch. Finally by deploying a SAN server we also decentralize storage from the server itself allowing us to quickly move data from one machine to another if needed in order to maintain business continuity. Risks Risks are minimal in terms of implementation, the new machine will be set up separately then deployed off hours in order to minimize business impact, and decrease required time during off hours to integrate the new system. Other non-critical systems may be down during on hours periodically until the old SBS box is set up and integrated into the network to take on its new role. Overall risks involved in this project are minimal. Alternatives Alternatives would be to upgrade current hardware, and hope that none of the current server hardware fails. Budget Please see the attached information for pricing on hardware.
