FISCAL IMPACT:
The contract first year payment of $375,802.80 is covered in DoIT’s 2019-2020 fiscal budget though venture capital funding. Maintenance for years two and three in the amount of $181,872.91 will be incorporated into DoIT’s annual budget.
BACKGROUND:
DoIT will purchase the Rubrik backup solution, through reseller Integrated Archive Systems. DoIT’s current backup appliances have reached their end of life and are becoming unreliable. DoIT, in conjunction with other County departments represented on the County’s ITAC committee, evaluated new vendors to provide a replacement and Rubrik was recommended as the new county standard. This purchase includes three years of maintenance and support. Under the support agreement, the County is obligated to indemnify Rubik for County breach of the agreement.
The license and support will be governed by the County's existing end user license agreement with Rubrik through Employment and Human Services.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The County departments supported by DoIT will be at risk of not meeting standards for security, performance, reliability, and cost effectiveness. Additionally, this technology will improve the County’s ability to protect and recover its intellectual assets in the event of a cyber-attack.
