DISCUSSION
The Information Services Division provides all computerized support for Santa Ana City Hall and
the Santa Ana Police Department Data Centers. As such, having a reliable data backup and
recovery software system that ensures the integrity of data transferred and stored is critical. In
2007, the Information Services Division conducted an assessment of commercially available
backup and recovery software which included onsite testing of products. The results of the
assessment concluded with the selection of Commvault, Inc. application software as be the best
match for the needs of the City. Commvault data backup and recovery software was installed
and has performed satisfactorily and the maintenance/customer support provided with the
product has been excellent.
The term of the maintenance and support is expiring and staff recommends that it be renewed to
ensure continuity of updates, upgrades and technical support to keep critical software operating
at peak efficiency.
