MEMORANDUM
TO:

| THROUGH:
| Mandy Grewal, Supervisor
| FROM:
| John Adams, Director of IT
| DATE:
| September 14, 2022
| SUBJECT:

|
|
| | | | | | | | BOARD ACTION REQUESTED:
Authorize the purchase of a firewall upgrade for a cost not to exceed $12,500.00 |
| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND:
The current firewall, new in 2015, is not able to keep up with the speeds required for the work environment today. With more services moving to the cloud access to the internet is becoming more critical. This upgrade will include a redundant, “High Availability” spare that will take over in an outage of the primary hardware. The quote also includes remote migration support ensuring a smooth transition as well as proper settings to be secure. A cloud monitoring server is also included for reporting. The three-year bundle keeps the device covered for maintenance and upgrades for the next three years. |
