Each department or workgroup has networked laser printers with color inkjet and speciality printers available on the network. The Town has an Information Services department with two dedicated staff members. The department staff support and maintain the systems in-house with occasional assistance from outside consultants. Most of the servers are centrally located in the Town Hall facility in a computer room designed to house such equipment. All Town offices are network wired with 10BaseT Category 5 wire capable of 100 MB speeds.
All servers back up mission critical information daily.
The buildings are connected with fiber optic cable. One run of the fiber optic link spans Main Street in Glastonbury. All PC workstations support both protocols. The Town uses a communications switch to load balance and segment certain network intensive departments. The Town has an internet gateway physically located in the Library that supports both Town staff users and public library patrons.
