This hardware is now between <br /> 4-7 years old, with various components having been purchased over <br /> time. With the equipment approaching the end of its useful life as our <br /> primary computing and storage platform, it is due for replacement. <br /> The City's IT Department has been evaluating replacement options <br /> over the past year, and is recommending a complete replacement with <br /> "Hyperconverged" infrastructure from the market leader, Nutanix. This <br /> will provide a full replacement of the City and Police infrastructure, as <br /> well as prepare us to implement a disaster recovery site utilizing the <br /> best of the older hardware being replaced. <br /> The total cost of the hardware is $186,000.00. Additionally, staff is <br /> requesting a purchase authority of an additional $10,000 in order to <br /> make additional purchases from CDW throughout the remainder of this <br /> fiscal year, bringing the total expenditure amount not to exceed <br /> 112 <br />
