Title
Cisco Network Devices - Sentinel HANS Maintenance - Approval from July 17, 2017 through July 16, 2018
History
Sentinel Technologies provides Cisco government pricing along with their High Availability Network Support (HANS) pricing. HANS offers better support and a faster response time than standard Cisco support and at a lower cost.
Staff is recommending the purchase of Sentinel Technologies HANS maintenance and support for key Village computer network devices.
Funds are included in the FY 2017 Budget for Cisco network switch, firewall, e-mail threat and anti-spam maintenance, which affords the Village support, software upgrades and hardware replacements for critical network switching equipment. This includes several critical network switches in the Police Department.
On June 5, 2017, this item was reviewed and approved by the Technology, Innovation and Performance Improvement Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
Financial Impact
Funds are available in the 2017 Budget to accommodate this expense.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve the purchase of High Availability Network Support from Sentinel Technologies of Downers Grove, Illinois in an amount not to exceed $19,349.
