Council Approves $41,000 In Funds for City IT Systems Upgrade
Servers that handle the city's operations are running out of storage space and capacity.
Manassas Park City Council approved the use of $41,000 of capital projects funds to upgrade some of the city's technology equipment.
City staff said backup battery powered equipment needs to be installed in the city's information technology department in city hall. Installation of a three-phase UPS unit costs about $6,000.
Another $35,000 is needed to purchase new hardware and software for the city's IT department, according to city documents. The current servers are at capacity and an increase in storage space is needed to handle the city's operating files.
