Title
Police Department Quantum Tape Backup
History
The current Quantum PX-502 Tape Library Backup system is seven years old and is at the manufacturers’ end of life. It uses older tapes that only have a capacity of 200GB per tape cartridge. The Police Department’s storage demand capacities have increased 10 fold over this time period.
New procedures for evidence retention rules, the new computer aided dispatch (CAD) system, the addition of in-car high definition video camera systems, and the Illinois State Police migrating to paperless criminal history archives have led to the need for this upgrade.
The proposed Quantum i80 tape library uses a cartridge that can store 1.6TB of data, has a capacity for 40 tapes in the robotic library. The Village is afforded State of Illinois contract pricing with trade-in credit/for replacing the old library.
Financial Impact
Funds in the amount of $9,750 were budgeted in Village of Orland Park account 010-1600-460110 for half of the purchase price of this item. This item is to be 50% funded by the Orland Joint Emergency Telephone System and 50% funded by the Village of Orland Park.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve funding 50% of the purchase price of the Quantum Tape Backup system from Hipskind in Hinsdale, Illinois in the amount of $9,673.
