Federal Emergency Management Information System (FEMIS). Bill of Materials (BOM), FEMIS: Phase I, Version 1.2

This paper describes the Bill of Materials (BOM) for the Federal Emergency Management Information System (FEMIS) for release 1.1. FEMIS runs on two computer platforms: A UNIX platform, employed as a data server, and a personal computer (PC) using a Windows NT operating environment. FEMIS will support the use of commercial off-the-shelf software (COTS) software applications and tools. The hardware set includes a UNIX data server, a PC Communications server (at the source of MET data only), and a number of PC Client workstations, peripheral devices and network support equipment as described in this document. Servers and PCs require the operating system, utility software, communications and other internal cards also listed in the following sections. Several configuration are possible at a CSEPP Site. In this description, a Site is understood to be comprised of several installations, including the depot, surrounding Immediate Response Zone (IRZ) and Protective Action Zone (PAZ) counties, and the state EOC. In general, the main differences between possible configurations are the number of users at an installation, the location of the UNIX data server, and the WAN link between installations. Two typical installation configurations are With Data Server and Without Data Server. The number of PC workstations may vary at an installation
