INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM <br />Information Technologies Department <br />227 W Jefferson Blvd (574) 245-6000 <br />TO: Board of Public Works, Linda Martin <br />CC: Dan O'Connor, Michael Schmidt, George King, John Murphy, <br />Shawn Delahanty <br />FROM: Michael E. Sniadecki <br />SUBJECT: Data Realty -Data Center <br />DATE: 10/27/16 <br />Members of the Board, <br />Please see the attached Master Services Agreement between Data Realty & COSB for <br />you to review and approve. COSB had been migrating servers and storage (data) into <br />virtual environment in the Cloud over the past year. We are now at the point that we can <br />setup our upgraded core network environment and move majority of our remaining HW <br />(servers, storage, network devices & others) from our CCB 1211 floor server room, if not <br />also from other locations into the Data Center at Data Realty. The Office of Innovation <br />and Technology team has reviewed the quote and gave favorable recommendation. We <br />will be moving into this Data Center that will provide protection and redundancy in every <br />area necessary for uptime availability of 100% such as: <br />• Security <br />• HVAC/Cooling <br />• Fire Suppression <br />• Monitoring <br />• Power/UPS/Generators <br />• Telecommunications <br />• Others <br />There is an agreement in place between Data Realty and COSB where COSB gets the <br />actual rack space free in exchange for Data Realty using some of COSB's conduits. The <br />monthly recurring cost for this full rack is $705 with a one -charge of $2020. This a <br />average monthly saving of $900 compared to a regular client would be paying. <br />This Data Center Co -location will become COSB's primary server room. If it is unable to <br />be put into the virtual environment in the Cloud, it will be hosted in this Data Center. The <br />current CCB 1211 floor server room will become a much needed office space for the <br />Office of Innovation & Technology Dept. <br />
