RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Health Services Director, a purchase order with Groupware Technology, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $153,755 for the purchase of PureStorage FlashArray hardware and support for the period from April 21, 2018 through April 20, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% funding is included in the Hospital Enterprise Fund I budget.

BACKGROUND:

Health Services Information Technology (IT) currently owns PureStorage arrays, which stores ccLink electronic medical records (EMR) data. This purchase is for PureStorage storage arrays to increase capacity of existing storage to house all associated Epic EMR data, and expand Epic Cache Storage. Additional disc storage will expand the amount of online medical record data available to providers and provide a faster storage system. This purchase includes maintenance and support.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The County and PureStorage entered into an End User Agreement dated April 21, 2017 which includes terms and conditions governing the County’s use of PureStorage products.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this purchase order is not approved, Health Services IT will be unable to adequately store Epic EMR patient data and other critical healthcare information. This could lead to loss of existing data through overwriting or loss of new data due to an inability to store it.
