Network infrastructure upgrades coming to Danbury Library

The improvements are being paid for with money from the Farioly Fund.  When the City Council has approved the $26,000 allocation Councilman Duane Perkins asked Library Director Michelle Capozzella about the expenditure.

 

He was concerned that the infrastructure needs didn't fit with the description of what the Farioly Fund is to be used for.  He also was concerned with the amount that would be left in the find.  The balance is now about $136, but that's just the interest that's accrued.

 

There's over a million dollars in the account.  The fund was created to enhance services, programs and facilities of the library. 

 

The Library will be replacing an outdated network switch with allows multiple computers to be connected.  They will also be upgrading the firewall system.

 

The current Library network switch is 12 years old and Capozzella says the average life expectancy of a network switch is 3 to 5 years. If the switch fails, all of the library’s computers would be down. 

 

The current version of the Library's firewall becomes obsolete at the end of July so that will be replaced as well.  The firewall prevents outsiders from breaking into the servers, gaining access to patron's account information and preventing anyone from gaining access to the private network.
