Title
Purchase of Hardware and Software for the City's Annual Server Replacement Program (Citywide)
Aging servers for the City's Geographic Information Systems (GIS) will be replaced this year as well as those that support the City's Computerized Maintenance Management System which is currently being upgraded to a new server/web-based version. These servers also support the Police Department's continued efforts to address its aging server fleet through virtualized servers for cost savings, flexibility, manageability, and faster start up time for server services.
