Purchase of Software for the SQL Server Virtualization Project Requested by the Information Technology Department (Citywide)
The current SQL Server database platform hosts approximately 300 production databases. Many City websites and applications rely on these databases to store and retrieve information. This platform has been in place since 2007 with a hardware replacement in 2012. This software is needed to license a new database system that will support applications used by City staff and citizens. It will improve security, stability and availability, while also improving ease of management.
The Information Technology Department and Purchasing recommend authorizing the purchase using the State of Arizona cooperative contract and the lowest quoted vendor, CDWG, at $43,734.46.
