Summary

County staff and vendor ISG completed upgrades to network switches, battery backup and virtual server storage intended to reduce outages and modernize county IT infrastructure.

Miami County officials said IT upgrades completed over Juneteenth have modernized the county’s server room and should reduce outages for county systems.

At the June 25 study session, staff described work by vendor ISG to replace aging network switches with managed switches, remove unused equipment, install battery backup units and migrate to virtual server storage. Staff said the previous equipment was prone to shorts and power-related outages.

IT staff explained the managed switches allow remote configuration changes for individual ports, which reduces onsite troubleshooting time, and the newer storage array and battery backups address recurring outages caused by power fluctuations. County staff showed before-and-after photos of the server rack layout and said the clean-up removed obsolete hardware that had generated heat and electrical shorts.

No contract changes or additional funding were announced at the session. Staff characterized the project as the use of previously approved funds and said the systems are now in place and functioning.
