RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Health Services Director, a retro-active Purchase Order with Trace3 not to exceed $78,437 to purchase Gigamon licenses and support, for the period of November 18, 2021, through November 17, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this purchase order will result in annual expenditures not to exceed $78,437, as budgeted by the department in FY 2022-23. The funding for these expenditures is included in the Hospital Enterprise Fund I Budget.

BACKGROUND:

Gigamon is a company specializing in network traffic redirection for inspection. The hardware we have from Gigamon, is commonly referred to as a “packet broker” appliance. It is a switch like appliance that allows us to send specific traffic to our different security appliances. The ability to manage our network traffic is key in assisting the Contra Costa Health Services Network infrastructure.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Failure to renew Gigamon licenses and support will prevent us from understanding the full scope of network traffic. This will lead to slower network speeds to our hospitals and clinics.
