The KOM computer lab serves thousands of students each semester. Approx 100,000 sessions are logged yearly for 7500 students/800 sessions per day. The computers in one of our labs were purchased in August of 2010. These computers are nearly 7 years old, well beyond the warranty expiration date, and the power supplies are beginning to fail. We are requesting 37 computers to replace the computers in this lab. We have a virtual machine host server that was purchased in 2011 that provides support services to the lab. This server is a year past the warranty expiration date and the hard drives have been failing. We are requesting one server capable of hosting virtual machines to replace this aging server. We also have several aging UPS battery backups with PDUs that provide power and battery backup capabilities to servers that support the lab. We are requesting replacement of one of the UPSs with a PDU this year.
