| The Network Services Division of the Information Technology
department primary functions include developing, maintaining, and
securing a highly reliable network infrastructure that is the
backbone of the county network and to provide and maintain network
servers and their application services supporting Ocean County
Government departments/agencies and their functions.
They are responsible for providing
connectivity to all Internal and External County of Ocean Agencies
along with providing these same services to the County's 33
municipalities. We use a multi-vendor server client base that
consist of Microsoft and Novell. Cisco and IBM routers and switches
in a Fast-Ethernet and Token-Ring environment establish network
connectivity. The Wide Area Network consists of T1, Microwave and
Frame-Relay links that support our remote clients with
multi-protocol communications. Our network administration staff plans, evaluates, and designs our
network infrastructure and monitors its effectiveness to ensure
sustained reliable and secure operations. They ensure successful
implementation/integration of applications and systems on and across
the network.
Our network administration staff maintain and administrate
established systems and servers such as the county's electronic
mail, database, and Inter and Intranet. They maintain server and
system backup and disaster recovery operations as well as the
day-to-day support of client-server applications and systems on the
network.
Our network technician staff monitors, tests, troubleshoots, and
restores hardware and software problems from network cabling to the
desktop for our end users. They are the face most county employees
come to know when they have a problem.
Our goal is to provide our users reliable, effective, and
efficient network infrastructure and network services and to
maintain pace with technologies that enable and empower our users to
best serve Ocean County. |
