Agenda Item Brief: : Approve the purchase of IT Backup Software as recommended by the IT Steering Committee on August 17, 2011 from CDWG in the amount of 33,362.45. This will include software that will backup IT Physical and Virtual Servers and storage located in the IT and PD Servers room.
Background: Sparks Information Technology started building the infrastructure that would accommodate this project 6 years ago by building a Storage Area Network for backups that has now expanded to include data storage for all city systems and information. We also started virtualizing our servers in 2007 and plan to start virtualizing desktops city-wide as budget becomes available. IT is recommending that we purchase new Server Backup software that is compatible with our tape library and storage from CDWG. Enterprise backup software allows server, database and virtual server backups to disk and then to tape for offsite storage of our data. Competitive bids for computer equipment and software is not required by NRS.
Analysis: Continuity of Operations is a major statewide project that the city is involved with. The project will allow IT to have further control of how data is backed up and also to “de-duplicate” all files across our network with software that is compatible with our current hardware. The software was picked by IT Operations staff after much research and many demos.
Alternatives: Options include not ratifying this award for IT Technology refresh expense and the authorization of the purchase order and then directing staff further in this regard.
Recommended Motion: “I move to approve the purchase of computer equipment and software from CDWG in the amount of $33,362.45.”
