Set Public Hearing For <br /> CONTINUED TO <br /> 1,1 FILE NUMBER <br /> <br /> I NAGER <br /> <br /> RECOMMENDED ACTION <br /> <br /> Award a contract to Govplace for the purchase of an HP support and maintenance contract for <br /> disk array system, in the amount not to exceed $28,900. <br /> <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> <br /> The City Hall Data Center houses 62 physical computer servers and 127 virtual computer <br /> servers. These servers host 50 departmental applications, six enterprise applications and 34 <br /> citywide computer infrastructure services. A key component of the City Hall Data Center's <br /> computing environment is the use of specialized shared storage systems called "disk storage <br /> arrays."These are systems that contain a number of very high capacity individual disk drives <br /> linked together by specialized software which allow the array to act as the data storage for many <br /> virtual and physical host servers at the same time. The arrays allow flexible allocation of data <br /> storage to the connected host servers along with sophisticated protection against data loss from <br /> a physical drive failure. <br /> <br /> The main disk storage array in the City Hall Data Center houses all of the data for the Lawson <br /> Financial System, the Payroll System, the Exchange Email system and many other departmental <br /> systems. Due to the complex nature of the disk array systems, manufacture maintenance is <br /> essential to provide the specialized technical maintenance and parts to repair this critical system <br /> with minimum impact to the City's computing environment. This contract award will extend the <br /> manufacture maintenance for a period of one year. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 22B-1 <br />
