Purpose

To authorize the purchase of a backup server and related software to automate the complete backup of the virtual server infrastructure

Background

Sauk County has a significant virtual infrastructure which increases regularly as new fucntionality and applications are added.  Overtime, our backup systems and processes have become ineffective in efficiently managing this enviroment.

MIS has consulted with Capital Data and have determined that revising the system is the best solution.  Following the implementation of this server and software, later phases will seek to replicate these backup files to an offsite enviroment.
