Network facilities
Network organization
WEP has locations all over Onondaga County. There are
seven staffed locations and well over 100 pump
stations. Each of the staffed locations has a local
area network (LAN), and all are connected by a wide
area network (WAN). The WAN also provides access to
other Onondaga County departments as well as to the
Internet.
This networking infrastructure, managed by WEP's
Computer Management Division, allows all WEP personnel
to share data and resources from any location in the
county.
Administrative information system
The Computer Management Division also coordinates more
than 240 personal computers and peripherals used for
electronic data processing as well as file sharing,
access to the vehicle maintenance tracking database,
personnel time and attendance system, and more.
Computer management
Setting up and configuring all new computer equipment,
installing new software, and troubleshooting
department problems, the Computer Management Division
also handles repairs, backing up files, programming
for large database applications, and coordinating
computer hardware and software purchases.
The goal is to meet WEP's current and future computer
needs so that the public of Onondaga County is well served. |
