| | | | | | | | RECOMMENDATION
Take the following actions: (1) Approve the purchase of a Pure Storage Flash Array with expanded Disk Storage, including installation, and 3 years of warranty support, utilizing California’s Department of General Services (CDGS) competitively bid contract ID 19-70-19Q-1, and (2) authorize the Chief Information Officer to purchase the equipment and services through the vendor HSB Solutions, the holder of the CDGS contract, in an amount not to exceed $193,388.19. |
| | | | | | | | DISCUSSION
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-23 Adopted Budget includes allocation and capital asset accounts for replacement/upgrades of Information Technology’s (IT) existing data storage equipment. The existing Pure storage array which is used for virtual servers, applications, and databases that require high performance storage, is approaching capacity. This purchase will expand the existing storage capability and add a new shelf to allow replication of data for disaster recovery. |
| | | | | | | | ALTERNATIVES
The Board can choose not to approve the purchase. County IT would continue to review other storage options to accommodate data growth of County departments. This is not recommended since the County already utilizes a Pure Storage Array in the current environment and can use the existing tools and software to manage the additional equipment. |
| | | | | | | | OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT
The Purchasing Department supports the recommendation. Risk Management has reviewed the agreement. County Counsel has reviewed the agreement and approved it as to form. The County Administrative Office has reviewed the recommendation. |
| | | | | | | | FISCAL IMPACT
The Information Technology (IT) Department FY2022-23 Approved Budget includes the allocation for this expense. The purchase would be made under IT’s Capital Asset account 065053 (Network Storage Devices) and Maintenance account 033500. |
