Goals of Project: <br />Goal 1: Transition the Orono existing server/storage/backup architecture to a hybrid model <br />using the LOGIS hosted environment and a single VMWare-ESXI server hosted at Orono City <br />Hall. <br />Goal 2: Upgrade/refresh all Windows server to Server 2012R2 or Server 2016, as Server 2008 <br />is deprecated and no longer supported by Microsoft. <br />Summary of Proposed Solution: <br />Current environment: 3 physical servers <br />Proposed environment: 1 physical VMWare server located at Orono City Hall to run 2 virtual <br />servers, and 4 additional virtual servers hosted in the LOGIS cloud, totaling 6 virtual servers in a <br />hybrid architecture. <br />The proposed solution will run 4 mission critical virtual servers on the LOGIS hosted <br />architecture. The proposed solution also includes a single VMWare-ESXI server to remain at <br />Orono City Hall. This VMWare server will run 2 Windows servers. Together, there is 6 virtual <br />servers. <br />The single VMWare-ESXI server will also have the ability to run additional servers in the future. <br />A good candidate would be an IP based surveillance solution. <br />The solution has been verified to be adequate for processing load, storage speed, storage <br />capacity, and network bandwidth. The LOGIS hosted environment has redundant datacenters, <br />redundant copies of storage, automatic site resiliency, and staff available 24/7 to keep the <br />systems running. <br />The new server design has and a more purposeful application design focused on high <br />performance, high availability, and decreased ongoing maintenance. <br />LOGIS hosted backups will perform daily backups of all 6 servers in the environment. It will <br />include daily backups with 30 days of retention and monthly backups for 12 months. The <br />current solution is only backing up a fraction of the current servers, and is only able to keep 3-5 <br />days of retention due to limited storage resources. <br />The method of server migration will be a deployment of new Windows servers with either Server <br />2012R2 or Server 2016. This will eliminate all the Server 2008R2 servers, which will be <br />deprecated in the next year. <br />2 <br />
