an increase per month of $3789 from the original RFP being referenced.
Note: Per Ryan SD -WAN — "gives the county the ability to if the internet is down at any
location fail -over to another location and with the existing Core switching reaching 10 years
of age this would be the most cost-effective solution for the county to get the aging
equipment replaced. Hosted Firewalls — We would use firewalls that would be provided by
the vendor and again not have the large expense of replacing aged equipment."
