Summary & Background
The Fulton County IT strategic plan includes a server upgrade that will modernize the County’s end-of-life server infrastructure resulting in improved processing and system performance. The County’s current legacy server infrastructure has not been upgraded in over a decade and lacks adequate support - placing the County at an elevated risk for business continuity. In addition, as County systems are upgraded and/or added to the application portfolio, modern-day systems require a greater demand for processing power including CPU, memory, and the like. The County’s server infrastructure is currently constrained with greater than 90% of computing resources allocated to run existing systems. This constraint impedes our ability to scale and enable optimal system performance.
Scope of Work:
• Acquisition, installation, and configuration of all hardware and software systems
• Partner consultancy engagement to ensure seamless project execution and closeout based on defined scope and requirements
• Knowledge Transfer and Training for FCIT
Community Issues/Concerns: All Fulton County stakeholders and citizens have an expectation for our systems to be highly available and reliable. This initiative will ensure County systems are performant.
Department Issues/Concerns: The Information Technology Department recommends approval of this item.
Project Implications: The project will ensure a modernized/supportable infrastructure that is secure, reduces risk, and increases processing resources to County applications.
Contract Modification: This is a new request.
