Introduced by the County Services and Finance Committees of the:

INGHAM COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS

RESOLUTION APPROVING CONTRACTS WITH DYNTEK AND HEWLETT PACKARD FOR THE PURCHASE OF STORAGE AREA NETWORK AND ASSOCIATED PROFESSIONAL SERVICES FOR INSTALLATION

RESOLUTION #03-226

WHEREAS, currently servers that hold County data do not utilize disk space in an efficient manner; and

WHEREAS, some servers have almost no storage space left, while others are completely empty; and

WHEREAS, a number of our applications take an excessive amount of time to do a complete backup because of the amount of data stored on the server; and

WHEREAS, MIS is recommending that a storage area network (SAN) be purchased that would address the above stated issues; and

WHEREAS, a SAN would improve the County's disaster preparation status.

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Ingham County Board of Commissioners authorize a contract with DynTek and Hewlett Packard for the purchase of a Storage Area Network and all related software, hardware and professional services, at a cost not to exceed $145,000.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a portion of cost for this purchase will be paid from the MIS budget in the amount of $73, 033.50, and the remaining balance of $71,966.50 will be taken from the Register of Deeds technology fund as at least 50% of the storage will be used for the Register of Deeds.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Ingham County Board of Commissioners authorizes the Board Chair and the County Clerk to sign any necessary contract documents after approval as to form by the County Attorney.
