Request for ratification of the purchase of Nutanix, a server virtualization solution that replaces the City’s current virtualization platform, which the City has outgrown and whose current renewal is facing significant price increases. The current global supply chain issues with computer hardware necessitated that IST purchase this solution immediately for reasons related to inventory availability and pending price increases. The cost for hardware, software, and implementation services was $299,422.68. Purchase was with General Datatech, L.P. from Dallas, Texas, through the State of Texas DIR contract DIR-CPO-5688. Funding was available in the Information Services and Telecommunication department, Support Services division & Contractual Obligations fund.
