Memorandum <br />To: James DiPietro, City Manager <br />CC: <br />From: Michael S.

Additionally, <br />the computer specified meets the RAID 5 specification which will enable us to <br />mirror all of the storage drives. Should any of the 3 internal storage drives on the <br />machine fail, the remaining two have the capability of restoring the data from the <br />defective drive to a new drive thus maintaining the integrity of the system and our <br />critical public data.

The <br />proposed machine should serve the City well for many years. <br />Item 2: <br />This item consists of the conversion of the operating systems on 14 existing City <br />computers from Windows 95 to Windows NT Workstation. This is necessary to <br />
