Title

Cisco Network Device - Annual Maintenance

 

History

Funds are included in the FY 2016 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 year, several critical network switches in the Police Department are being added to maintenance due to limited availability of replacement equipment. We are also co-terming maintenance and support of our Cisco IronPort E-Mail AntiVirus and Spam appliance in order to simplify the renewal process. Sentinel Technologies provided 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.

 

On July 5, 2016, 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 2016 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 $17,349.
