RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation Concerning Enterprise Backup Replacement - Claudia Simmons, Manager, Office of Purchasing

That the Board award Contract # PD 14-15.072, for Enterprise Backup Replacement to SHI International Corp., in the amount of $201,895.03.

[Funding: Fund 001, General Fund, Cost Center 270111, Object Code 56401,56801]

BACKGROUND:

The Enterprise Backup replacement will replace the existing backup solution of IBM Tivoli Storage Manager with a system that is more suited for backing up the Escambia County Board of County Commissioners virtual servers and physical servers. It will also provide for a better environment for disaster recovery and testing of backups.

The Escambia County Board of County Commissioners’ Information Technology department has used IBM Tivoli Storage Manager since the early 2000’s. It was a good product for the server environment at that time. The Escambia County Board of County Commissioners’ server environment has modernized to the point that the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager solution is no longer a viable solution to provide adequate and reliable backups to all of the Escambia County Board of County Commissioners’ applications and servers. The new Enterprise Backup replacement solution will allow the Escambia County Board of County Commissioners’ to have a solution that will provide trustworthy backups, which are able to be tested. It will also allow for a better disaster recovery plan.

The solicitation was advertised in the Pensacola News Journal on June 29, 2015. Eight firms were notified on June 29, 2015. One bid was received on July 30, 2015.
