County to consider ISG server‑room refresh; board asks about warranties and long‑term support
Summary
Miami County staff presented a proposal to hire ISG to modernize the server room, replace aging hardware and add UPS backup; commissioners asked about equipment warranties and long‑term service commitments and asked staff to place the item on the afternoon action agenda.
County staff presented a proposal to hire ISG to modernize the courthouse server room, refresh networking equipment and add uninterrupted power supply (UPS) hardware so servers can run for a short window during fiber or power outages.
Staff said ISG’s scope is to remove obsolete equipment, install new switches and UPS devices and help virtualize servers; the proposal was presented as a one‑time professional services engagement to bring the server room “back into the 21st century.” Commissioners and staff asked about hardware warranties and whether ISG would provide ongoing maintenance after installation. Staff described the ISG engagement as an installation and refresh; ongoing service and maintenance would be handled either under separate contracts or through existing IT arrangements.
The presenter noted the agenda includes itemized costs for professional services and hardware in the attached packet and said staff will follow up with ISG and the county’s IT contractor to confirm warranty and support terms. Commissioners requested that the ISG engagement be placed on the board’s action agenda for the afternoon meeting so the board could approve or delay after clarifying warranty and service details.
Ending
Staff will obtain warranty and maintenance details from ISG and return with an action item for the board’s consideration.
