Minutes after I'd finished the mammoth task of tracing the network last week, and decommissioning surplus network switches, the LEA turned up to install 2 brand new gigabit switches in to the music block extension. That's 72 ports in a block that only has 6 computers. These were removed Monday morning and added to the stock pile which now totals 15x 24 port switches, most with some form of gigabit connectivity.
Got a quote in to upgrade out Citrix servers to the latest XenApp software, 2 new servers, bit of RAM, MS Office and MS Server 2003. The cost for this is £41k. Yes. £41,000. That will sure make next year's budgeting VERY interesting.
Nothing interesting happened so far this week. It's been very mundane (helpdesk, laptop fixing, video on demand authoring, unpacking laptops) :(
