HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 08032010 - C.37RECOMMENDATION(S):
Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department,
to execute a Purchase Order to Marin IT, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $245,289, for the
purchase of Storage Area Network (SAN) arrays that will support computing server
expansion plans of the Heath Services Department.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Total cost of $ 245,288.45 is budgeted in the Enterprise Fund I.
BACKGROUND:
The SAN arrays will be located at the main Data Center 595 Center Ave, Martinez and at
the Disaster Recovery Data Center, 2311 Loveridge Road, Pittsburg. Each array is to be
built with sufficient capacity to support near term server deployment plans and will support
the migration of computer information from the existing SAN at each location. The net
result is an initial increase in storage capacity within a system that allows simple, relatively
low cost, expansion capabilities to address future information storage needs.

Subject:Purchase of Storage Area Network
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
This need is based on an analysis of Department storage usage trends and the shift of data
storage from Direct Attached Storage (DAS), which is systems based, to the SAN
environment, which allows for greater efficiency and flexibility in storage provisioning and
allocation. Two SAN arrays are being purchased to provide an efficient method of replacing
data to the Disaster Recovery environment where it can be placed into production far faster
than a recovery from tape based backup systems.
