Over 200 server class computers operating in these data <br /> centers host systems that all agencies and departments in the City utilize. To ensure the integrity <br /> of the computer systems, the computer data must be protected from loss or damage due to a <br /> disaster, equipment failure or even inadvertent deletion or change. Copying and storing <br /> computer data separately from its primary computer device is necessary to ensure proper <br /> backup of vital information. Currently some 12 terabytes (12,000,000,000,000 bytes) of computer <br /> data are being backed up from the City Hall and SAPD data centers. <br /> In 2007 CommVault data backup and recovery software was installed and has performed <br /> satisfactorily as well as the continued support and maintenance. Premier support and <br /> maintenance is offered on an annual basis and is needed to ensure continuity of computing <br /> operations in support of City services. The renewal will provide updates, upgrades and technical <br /> support to keep critical software operating at peak efficiency. In addition to the renewal, included <br /> is the added capability to support the backup and protection of the virtual server infrastructure in <br /> a much more efficient manner and an encryption module that will protect sensitive Police data as <br /> required by the Department of Justice. <br /> <br /> The notice inviting bids was advertised on December 12, 2011 and bids were solicited.
