RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute a Purchase Order to Nexus IS Inc. in an amount not to exceed $419,889 for Pure Storage Flash Arrays and 3 year premium maintenance support for the period September 30, 2015 through September 29, 2018.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% Funding is included in the Hospital Enterprise Fund I Budget.

The Health Services Department’s Information Technology Unit currently owns Pure Storage arrays, which stores ccLink electronic health record (EHR) data. The additional disc storage will expand the amount of online medical record data available to providers and provide a faster storage system.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If additional disc storage is not provided, it will directly affect the retention of ccLink patient data.
