Resolution - Information Technology: Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute Purchase Order 33100048, with Dell Marketing LP, for the purchase of Dell Power Scale Data Storage systems to replace existing data storage infrastructure and provide additional data storage capacity.

Item Summary

The purchase of the Power Scale Chassis, Switches, and Licenses, will replace existing systems that are at, or approaching end of service life. The purchase will also provide additional data storage capacity to support the growing City of Lubbock network.  The purchase of the Power Scale products will enhance information security, system redundancy, performance and reliability, and is expandable in the future with other Dell data storage products.

Pursuant to the Texas Government Code Chapter 791.025, purchases from DIR contracts meet competitive bid requirements.

Fiscal Impact
