Miami County commissioners voted to renew a VMware license with ISG to maintain virtual servers hosted on county infrastructure.

Lucas Mellinger, assistant county administrator, told the commission the county contracts with VMware so the county can run virtual servers instead of buying individual physical machines. "This is kinda just a cost of doing business in the IT department," Mellinger said.

Mellinger said the renewal cost is $11,423.52, up from about $9,300 three years earlier — roughly a $2,000 increase over three years. He recommended renewing the payment to ISG; Commissioner Vickery moved to approve and Commissioner Dietiker seconded. The motion passed 4-0.

No amendments or additional procurement approvals were requested at the meeting.
