CGU 'llY CC\ <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />Novembcr 24, 2006 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Purchase Order <br /> <br />Dear Commissioners, <br /> <br />The enclosed purchase order is a budgeted request for a backup network data <br />storage system for the county network. <br /> <br />The system will server as a hot backup site for county data. Currently in normal <br />operation, to restore information that had been deleted or in some way corrupted requires <br />restoration from backup tapes. In some cases this could take a considerable amount of <br />time to restore since the tape would have to be recovered from offsite storage. With this <br />system, restoration of deletcd files could be done almost instantly. <br /> <br />The current backup method consists of data backups that are performcd nightly to <br />magnetic tapes. The problem with tape backups is it places a significant load on server <br />resources and cannot be done during nomlal business hours. In the event lost or <br />corrupted data, the data from the previous night's backup would have to be rcstored. <br />This has the potential of a day's worth of information and work being lost. <br /> <br />The system we plan to implement follows industry best practices for backup of <br />data. The backup method is considered disk-to-disk-to-tape meaning data is being <br />backed up almost on a continuous basis rather than only once a day to the backup site, <br />and secondary backup to tape is done after hours for archival purposes. <br /> <br />The backup system would be located at the County Jail, separate from the <br />Courthouse data center. In the event of a disaster, data would be more readily available. <br /> <br />SUGGESTED MOTION: <br />Move to authorize the chair to sign a purchase orders tor the Information Technology <br />Department in the amount of $37,067.00. <br /> <br />..-, <br />( j <br />-:'~.;:.'~- <br />Terry Schmaltz .. <br /> <br />"""""',~";,;-.c,,,,'.""'."'_' ~ 1^1 .,......,.,_.'..."..-_,-~ <br />
