few of these can be moved to a virtual machine (VM) environment; however,
many of these systems are not conducive to VM and must be replaced. The
number of antiquated machines grows from 16 to 21 in Fiscal Year 2014. The
cost for replacement of these aging units in Fiscal Year 2014 is estimated at
$48,000.
The current tape library is over 6 years old and parts are no longer available.

Staff continues to juggle tapes and this old system needs to be replaced as soon
as possible before valuable data is lost. The modern way to manage backups is
through disk storage systems. The BCC needs to backup all VM data, and
County databases and files to meet Sunshine requirements. With current
software, an estimated 100 terabytes (100,000 gigabytes) of disk space is
needed. This will meet County growth over the next three years in order to keep
60-90 days of information on hand. The cost of such a system is estimated
between $150,000 and $200,000 for a solution, depending on the section’s
ability to utilize current backup software.
Okaloosa Fiber Optic System: Implementation of the Okaloosa County Fiber
Optic project began in 2001 with the purpose of reducing the growing annual
communication cost incurred by local governments while providing for an
avenue of growth as the technical needs for bandwidth rapidly increase.
Technology continues to be the primary mechanism leveraged by departments
and constitutional offices to increase efficiency and lower the operation cost of
local government. The fiber optic project is a proactive measure taken by the
Okaloosa Board of County Commissioners that has curbed communication
costs and provided an avenue for future growth.
The fiber optic system has expanded to connect all of the departments under
the Board as well as the Sheriff’s Office, Tax Collector, Property Appraiser, Clerk
of Courts and the Supervisor of Elections. The Judiciary, State Attorney and
Public Defender also are networked utilizing the fiber optic system. The
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition, and Traffic operations also benefit
from this system. Communication cost for each of these entities is markedly
reduced as a result of the high speed network connections. Not only does fiber
play a major role in the support of the communication lines; but all telephone
traffic is now routed across the system as well.
To offset some of the implementation costs, the County has partnered with the
military and colleges on several occasions. This partnership has helped fund the
system and created redundant routes and expanded capacity.
In as much as the fiber optic system continues to save hundreds of thousands of
dollars annually, and in order to fulfill contractual obligations that have brought
millions of dollars to the County,

it is necessary to continue to sustain the system. Maintenance on the system
warrants an estimated budget of $325,000 annually.
