BACKGROUND:
In April of 2019, the Board approved the purchase of a Dell/Nutanix server from TIG. An incorrect server was received. The server was returned and no payment was made against the purchase order. The new Director has evaluated the need for this server and decided to move forward to expand the current server cluster.

The purchase will expand the existing cluster of servers, and will improve the performance to county departments and constitutionals. We will retire four outdated servers and storage devices, saving approximately $20,000 per year.
