Police department to replace storage server; trustees approve IBM purchase
Summary
Police IT presented a replacement storage-area network (about 20 TB) that is no longer serviceable; staff recommended an IBM system after HP and Dell quotes did not match specs. Trustees approved the purchase unanimously.
The police department requested authorization to buy a new IBM storage-area network to replace a device that the manufacturer no longer supports. IT staff said the unit will house about 20 terabytes of police data and that IBM was the only vendor matching the department's specifications at the price point.
"This houses about 20 terabytes of data for the police department," IT staff said. Trustees approved the purchase to maintain data integrity and continuity of police records and body-camera or other related storage systems.
