Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00789R002100230001-3 Project Title: Computer facility upgrade Major Ob jective: the objective of this task is to upgrade the existing 1-2 user computer system. Specific Ob jectives: (1) Determine the best hardware/software combination to support up to 10 users both on a local area and long haul network Ce@sge ARPANET). (2) Determine the state-of-the-art DBM system that will work under the environment described in (1). (3) Purchase and install the selected system. Implementation of Proposed Objectives: (1) Related projects: Word processing and database management have become one of the most important support topics for the existing project. The computer demand has far exceeded the capabilities of the existing system. An adequate computer based office increases the efficiency of all the proposed research. (2) Funding/manpower: 1/2 manyear effor plus hardware/software. - $300k (estimated) (3) Timing: 9% months q Deliverables: A report describing the capabilities of the working computer facility. Consequences of Nonactions The existing computer facility was designed for a two user system for DBMS only. The current demand can not be met with the existing system. The INTEL DBMS can not be fully implemented without a significant upgrade. A major S-year effort can not be consistantly managed without a proper computer system.
