Purchase of Microsoft Licensing to Upgrade Mesa Police Department Servers as requested by the Information Technology Department (Citywide)
The department is replacing their core computing systems as part of an effort to migrate storage and computing resources from the main Police campus to the data center. These additional cores require the purchase of additional Windows Server licenses in order to maintain compliance with the Microsoft license agreement. This purchase will put the department’s new virtualization environment onto current, fully supported operating-system versions, with support life-cycles appropriate for the new server hardware.
The Information Technology Department (ITD), Mesa Police Department, and Purchasing recommend authorizing the purchase using the State of Arizona contract with CDW-G, at $53,386.73, based on estimated requirements.
