A DESCRIPTION OF THE RESOURCES REQUIRED FOR THE PROJECT AND HOW THEY WILL BE UTILIZED

Given the desire Jonesville Library has shown in upgrading to the future of technology, Infinity Computer Systems has formulated a Systems Requirement document for your review. In this section we will break down the roles that each hardware member will play in your system and explain the process by which will work.

HARDWARE RESOURCES

The future of your library will consist of a Dell Power Edge 2950 server connecting all workstations into a LAN for file, printing and internet sharing. This server will serve as the backbone to your infrastructure allowing your employee's to manage and delineate tasks. Your network will be divided into 3 phases, 1st phase consisting of a VPN labeled JonesvilleLib.EmployeeDomain network for employee functions. The 2nd phase JonesvilleLib.MemberDomain will control card catalogs, internet access right and usage limitations, and log tracking of typical library services, i.e. books, DVD's, video and audio tapes checked out. Finally the 3rd phase JonesvilleLib.SecurityDomain will control and monitor any and all security options that your organization currently has in place and/or plans on upgrading to in the near future. The intended purpose of this domain is to monitor building alarms, camera control and recording and member and user authentication.

Phase 1 (JonesvilleLib.EmployeeDomain) will consist of 5 Dell Precision Workstation 490 Desktop - 64bit workstations smart card enabled and embedded with our managerial version of your business class software suite. This version of the software will control the issue and de-issue of library resources, i.e. internet assigning, book, DVD, video and Audio tapes. This will be a GUI menu based logged system. The employee will log onto the system via smart card access, granting them access to employee functions.

Phase 2 (JonesvilleLib.MemberDomain) will consist of 8 Dell Precision Workstation 490 Desktop - 64bit workstations smart card enabled and embedded with our member only version of your business class software suite, for Internet access and special programs offered by your organization. This version of the software will consist of a GUI Menu based logged system. The intended purpose of this suite is to control the member usage of internet resources, while monitoring and controlling access rights. Inappropriate internet usage can not be tolerated in a learning environment and should be dealt with accordingly, i.e. extremist activities including but not limited to, pornographic surfing, malicious code transmitting, hacking, identity theft and internet spamming. The software we purpose will handle just this. The user will logon the system from a smart card. This smart card will be issued to them at the time of registration to the library. Once a user has registered he will be issued a smart card that will contain security certificates that control the users' rights on the network, and also serve as a tracking hit for all typical library resources checked out. All 8 Dell Precision Workstation 490 Desktop - 64bit workstations will have this software installed on it and will not allow computer usage till a smart card has been inserted.

Also included into phase 2 is 2 Dell Precision Workstation 490 Desktop - 64bit workstations in a card catalog role only. These computer systems will be barebones systems only with no hard drive storage or any other useful purpose. The card catalog system will tie into the Jonesville.Domain dBase file system and allow users to view the card catalog and also offer a glimpse at their account information. User's have the opportunity to changes critical information relating to their personal profile,
