Purpose

To provide for the planned replacement of three VM servers 

Background

Background: Sauk County employs a virtual server infrastructure which consists of a number of physical computing devices that function as a single unit.  This integrated system carries the application workload for all of the County’s locally hosted applications.  These servers provide the computing power for this system at the primary data center located in the Courthouse Annex.

With the implementation of a secondary data center at the Law Enforcement Center, the adherence to replacement cycles for system components has become more critical as the two systems must be similar in architecture.  To accomplish this, the MIS Department replaces the system servers on a staggered six year replacement schedule.
