RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD), to execute a purchase order with SSP Data in the amount not to exceed $169,998 to procure data backup services from Barracuda Networks for the period of March 13, 2017 through March 12, 2018. (10% County; 48% State; 42% Federal)

FISCAL IMPACT:

$169,998: 100% Administrative Overhead (10% County; 48% State; 42% Federal)

BACKGROUND:

In 2010, DoIT migrated their systems off tape backup. The new service, provided by Barracuda Networks, will backup EHSD data to a local repository (storage device) that is linked to a remote facility that keeps a copy of that storage device. This setup has been recommended as a County standard. EHSD adopted the DoIT standard for performance, reliability, and cost effectiveness. The backup system was procured in early 2011. EHSD Information Technology Unit's data needs have grown and as a result, they have two 50 Terabyte devices to support the department's backup and off-site storage needs.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Employment and Human Services Department will be at risk of not meeting standards for performance, reliability and cost effectiveness. EHSD will also be at risk, in a disaster, of not being able to recover key data to continue operations.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

None.
