Item Number: 103 Legislation Number (B: Bill, R: Resolution): B44-31
Author:   Braun   Second:  Sloane
Synopsis: Acquisition of New Technology
Date of Presentation:
 

Whereas the University recommends replacing servers every 5 years, and 2 of our servers are entering their 7th year of service and,

Whereas VMware will allow new servers to be deployed without having to purchase new hardware to run them on and,

 

Whereas the ASUCI server and office software products are 6 years old, and the newest versions have been available for two years and,

Whereas our current Adobe software is 4 years old, and the new licenses will allow all ASUCI students access to use the product, not just the yearbook staff and,

Whereas ASUCI can use more backup space to make sure that we have adequate versions of past files (buffalo terastation) and,

Let it therefore be resolved, that $37,000 be allocated from ASUCI Reserves Account #6010 to purchase the following technology items,

ISCSI Storage Array ($12,823)

VMware VI 3 ($5,795) and vCenter Server ($6,537)

Buffalo TeraStation ($1,662)

APC Smart-UPS ($1,000)

Software Upgrades ($10,500)

Total Requested: $43,000 (this includes buffer for tax, shipping, etc)

 Let it finally be resolved that any unspent funds be returned to ASUCI Reserves at the conclusion of the project.
