Title
APPROVAL TO PURCHASE SERVER REPLACEMENT AND DATA MIGRATION
Description
The Network Systems Department requests permission to purchase a Storage Area Network (SAN) server replacement and data migration from TotalTec Systems, Inc. The current SAN was purchased in 2002 and contains equipment that is no longer supported. The SAN is the foundation of the District's technology system. It provides all schools and departments with email, network services, backups, user data storage, and web pages. It is necessary to replace the equipment in order to prevent unexpected failures that cannot be repaired. This equipment is contained on Florida State Contract 250-000-03-1 and the Western States Contracting Alliance Agreement. The funds for this purchase are contained in the technology capital budget allocated for the project.
Recommendation
That the purchase of a Storage Area Network (SAN) server replacement and data migration from TotalTec Systems, Inc., in the amount of $893,235.96, be approved.
