McKinley, City Manager Gremaf Reyes, MIS Manager Agenda Item No.: Lease Agreement with AT &T for 36 month to upgrade our Internet Speed Connection Ordinance: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH AT &T SERVICES FOR THREE -YEAR LEASE TO UPGRADE THE CITY'S "PRIVATE VERSION OF AN INTERNET" COMMONLY KNOWN AS INTRANET SERVICE FOR THE PUBLIC WORKS FACILITY AND THE GIBSON- BETHEL COMMUNITY CENTER; AND CHARGING THE MONTHLY FEES OF $1,744.00 TO ACCOUNT NUMBER 001 - 1340 -513 -4632; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Reason: During the past year, we have encountered problems trying to keep the private version of our internet connection (commonly known as "Intranet ") for the Public Works Facility and the Gibson - Bethel Community Center without interruptions. The connectivity have been interrupted simply because we do not have enough Bandwidth. We currently have 128 Kilo - bites equivalent to ''% of a T -1, while the attached agreement proposes an increase to 4 Mega Bites (i.e., over 3000% increase in bandwidth), thus making connectivity faster. We currently pay $1,906.00 per month for the 128 Kilo -Bite, while the proposed 4 Mega -Bite bandwidth would only cost us $1,744.00, thus, saving the City $162.00 per month. This significant improvement in bandwidth and reduction in cost is attributed to infrastructure upgrade and the improvement in technology within the past 4 years (the duration of our current contract). These budgeted expenses will be funded from MIS department's account number 001 - 1340 - 513 -4632 with current balance of $32,557.00 Cost: Monthly cost of $1,744 Funding Source: Account 001-1340-513-4632 Backup Documents: Proposed Resolution Proposed agreement with AT &T Detail on Intranet ( "a private version of an internet ") City of South Miami Metro Ethernet recommendation Gkys Wide are Network - Our recommendation for City of Miami is displace their current ATT Frame Relay network with Metro Ethernet 4Mg and 8Mg circuits. Metro Ethernet is a high- speed, optically switched Ethernet transport service that connects your LANs that are within the same metropolitan area. Metro Ethernet offers cost - effective, scalable, and flexible metropolitan network solutions, with bandwidth options from 2 Mpbs to 1 Gbps. Metro Ethernet is available as a switched (shared), so it can support many different types of business applications. Switched service supports traffic between multiple locations in a many -to-one or any -to-any configuration. We support Metro Ethernet in more than 380 points of presence (POPS) within the AT&T Southeast region's nine states. With Metro Ethernet service, our network terminating equipment connects to your router, bridge, or switch at your location via optical fiber (100 or 1000 Mbps) or copper wire (100 Mbps only). We transport your data across the AT&T core network as LAN frames using standard Ethernet protocols (802.1d, 802.1 p, 802.1 Q, 802.3u, and 802.3z). For example, Metro Ethernet uses 802.1 Q VLAN tagging to separate traffic and provide network security. The 802.1 p standard enables up to four classes of service so you can prioritize the traffic for your applications. Based on Service Inquiries we've done for the three City of South Miami sites there would not be Special Construction Charges required. However we will need to have fiber place at 4795 SW 75 +h Ave and 6130 Sunset Dr. The BICs group will need to certify the sites for conduit availability, meter room space and other requirements. The following is the result of our Service Inquiries: 4795 SW 75th Avenue - Must be fed by fiber because of distance Issues 5800 SW 66th Street - Can be fed by copper 6130 Sunset Dr. - Must be fed by fiber because of distance issues Internet service - City of South Miami has a fractional T1 768K Internet connection with ATT, we recommend increasing the bandwdth to a full 1.5Mg and recontracting the service an additonal 36 months. We can install a second full T1 1.510g. This will assist with City of South Miami Internet needs and streaming video.

MM From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia An intranet is a private computer network that uses Internet protocols and network connectivity to securely share part of an organization's information or operations with its employees. Sometimes the term refers only to the most visible service, the internal website. The same concepts and technologies of the Internet such as clients and servers running on the Internet protocol suite are used to build an intranet. HTTP and other Internet protocols are commonly used as well, such as FTP. There is often an attempt to use Internet technologies to provide new interfaces with corporate "legacy" data and information systems. Briefly, an intranet can be understood as "a private version of an Internet," or as a version of the Internet confined to an organization. The tern first appeared in print on April 19, 1995, in Digital News & Review in an article authored by technical editor Stephen Lawton M About Intranets Intranets differ from " Extranets" in that the former are generally restricted to employees of the organization while extranets can generally be accessed by customers, suppliers, or other approved parties. 121 There does not necessarily have to be any access from the organization's internal network to the Internet itself. When such access is provided it is usually through a gateway with a frrewall, along with user authentication, encryption of messages, and often makes use of virtual private networks (VPNs). Through such devices and systems off -site employees can access company information, computing resources and internal communications. Increasingly, intranets are being used to deliver tools and applications, e.g., collaboration (to facilitate working in groups and teleconferencing) or sophisticated corporate directories, sales and CRM tools, project management etc., to advance productivity. Intranets are also being used as culture change platforms. For example, large numbers of employees discussing key issues in an online forum could lead to new ideas. Intranet traffic, like public - facing web site traffic, is better understood by using web metrics software to track overall activity, as well as through surveys of users. http: / /en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intranet 2/13/2008 Intranet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Page 2 of 4 Intranet "User Experience ", "Editorial ", and "Technology" teams work together to produce in -house sites. Most commonly, intranets are owned by the communications, HR or CIO areas of large organizations, or some combination of the three. Because of the scope and variety of content and the number of system interfaces, the intranets of many organisations are much more complex than their respective public websites. And intranets are growing rapidly. According to the Intranet design annual 2007 from Nielsen Norman Group the number of pages on participants' intranets averaged 200,000 over the years 2001 to 2003 and has grown to an average of 6 million pages over 2005- 2007[3] Advantages of intranets 1. MY Workforce productivity: Intranets can help users to locate and view information faster and use applications relevant to their roles and responsibilities. With the help of a web browser interface, users can access data held in any database the organization wants to make available, anytime and - subject to security provisions - from anywhere within the company workstations, increasing employees' ability to perform their jobs faster, more accurately, and with confidence that they have the right information. It also helps to improve the services provided to the users. 2. Time: With intranets, organizations can make more information available to employees on a "pull" basis (ie: employees can link to relevant information at a time which suits them) rather than being deluged indiscriminately by emails. 3. Communication: Intranets can serve as powerful tools for corrummication within an organization, vertically and horizontally. From a communications standpoint, intranets are useful to communicate strategic initiatives that have a global reach throughout the organization. The type of information that can easily be conveyed is the purpose of the initiative and what the initiative is aiming to achieve, who is driving the initiative, results achieved to date, and who to speak to for more information. By providing this information on the intranet, staff have the opportunity to keep up -to -date with the strategic focus of the organization. 4. Web publishing allows 'cumbersome' corporate knowledge to be maintained and easily accessed throughout the company using hypermedia and Web technologies. Examples include: employee manuals, benefits documents, company policies, business standards, newsfeeds, and even training, can be accessed using common Internet standards (Acrobat files, Flash files, CGI applications). Because each business unit can update the online copy of a document, the most recent version is always available to employees using the intranet. 5. Business operations and management: Intranets are also being used as a platform for developing and deploying applications to support business operations and decisions across the internetworked enterprise. 6. Cost - effective: Users can view information and data via web- browser rather than maintaining physical documents such as procedure manuals, internal phone list and requisition forms. 7. Promote common corporate culture: Every user is viewing the same information within the Intranet. 8. Enhance Collaboration: With information easily accessible by all authorised users, teamwork is enabled. 9. Cross - platform Capability: Standards - compliant web browsers are available for Windows, Mac, and UNIX. Planning and creating an intranet http: / /en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intranet 2/13/2008 Intranet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Page 3 of 4 Most organizations devote considerable resources into the planning and implementation of their intranet as it is of strategic importance to the organization's success. Some of the planning would include topics such as: ■ What they hope to achieve from the intranet ■ Which person or department would "own" (take control of) the technology and the implementation ® How and when existing systems would be phased out/replaced • How they intend to make the intranet secure • How they'll ensure to keep it within legislative and other constraints • Level of interactivity (eg wikis, on -line forms) desired. • Is the input of new data and updating of existing data to be centrally controlled or devolved. These are in addition to the hardware and software decisions (like Content Management Systems), participation issues (like good taste, harassment, confidentiality), and features to be supported 141. The actual implementation would include steps such as 1. User involvement to identify users' information needs. 2. Setting up a web server with the correct hardware and software. 3. Setting up web server access using a TCP /IP network. 4. Installing the user programs on all required computers. 5. Creating a homepage for the content to be hosted. [51 6.

Or, less formally, a network that uses routers and public communications links M. Contrast with personal area networks (PANs), local area networks (LANs), campus area networks (LANs), or metropolitan area networks (MANS) which are usually limited to a room, building, campus or specific metropolitan area (e.g., a city) respectively. The largest and most well -known example of a WAN is the Internet. WANs are used to connect LANs and other types of networks together, so that users and computers in one location can communicate with users and computers in other locations. Many WANs are built for one particular organization and are private. Others, built by Internet service providers, provide connections from an organization's LAN to the Internet. WANs are often built using leased lines. At each end of the leased line, a router connects to the LAN on one side and a hub within the WAN on the other. Leased lines can be very expensive. Instead of using leased lines, WANs can also be built using less costly circuit switching or packet switching methods. Network protocols including TCP /IP deliver transport and addressing functions. Protocols including Packet over SONET /SDH, MPLS, ATM and Frame relay are often used by service providers to deliver the links that are used in WANs. X.25 was an important early WAN protocol, and is often considered to be the "grandfather" of Frame Relay as many of the underlying protocols and functions of X.2: are still in use today (with upgrades) by Frame Relay. Academic research into wide area networks can be broken down into three areas: Mathematical models, network emulation and network simulation. Performance improvements are sometimes delivered via WAFS or WAN Optimization. Several options are available for WAN connectivity: 121 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wide–Area–Network 2/13/20( �- Sample Option: i Description Advantages Disadvantages Bandwidth r` otocols used Leine d I Point -to- Point connection between two PPP, ( computers or Local Area Networks Most secure Expensive SDLC (LANs) HNAS Circuit switching A dedicated circuit path is created between end points.

Typical communication links used in WANs are telephone lines, microwave links & satellite channels. Recently with the proliferation of low cost of Internet connectivity many companies and organizations have turned to VPN to interconnect their networks, creating a WAN in that way. Companies such as Cisco, New Edge Networks and Check Point offer solutions to create VPN networks. 1. ^ "b Groth, David; Toby Skandier (2005). 'Network+ Study Guide, Fourth Edition'. Sybex, Inc..
