City Council Agenda Statement ♦ 1 r
Meeting Date: November 27, 2023
To: City Council
Through: Kat Sorensen, City Manager
From: Dustin Philips, IT Director
Subject:
Resolution 2023-130: Authorizing the City Manager to enter into a purchase
agreement with SFII for the purchase of Scale Computing Systems servers for the
Police Department, in the amount of $41.250.82.
Background and justificatio
The City of Seward Police Department currently runs three physical servers that are all past their
recommended life cycle of 7 years. The hardware is out of warranty and the version of operating system
software is no longer supported by Microsoft. These issues create an increased risk of system failure due
to hardware issues along with the absence of continued security patching and updates from Microsoft.
Upgrading to new hardware and the latest version of the Windows Server operating system will ensure the
system is patched with the latest security updates and has full hardware support from the vendor:
After reviewing systems from several vendors, the IT department has determined that moving the Police
Department servers from standalone physical servers to a hyper -converged platform from Scale Computing
is in the best interest of the City and Police Department. Scale Computing's systems will provide increased
redundancy by allowing IT staff to virtualize the server workload on the Police Department network:
Virtualizing the Police Department servers removes the current single point of failure of physical servers
by allowing each virtual server to run on a cluster of three servers. In the event of a node failure in the
cluster any servers running on that node are moved to the retraining healthy nodes in the cluster. This
cluster of servers allows for running the full workload in the event of a single node failure and running
critical systems in the event of a two -node failure. This system will provide an added layer of recoverability
and security in the event of a cyber incident or system failure, allowing IT staff to meet the goal of
minimizing the recovery time from such an event.
The 1T department will work with reseller SHI to purchase the system from Scale Computing utilizing
pricing negotiated in WSCA Contract No. ADSP016-00005829, ALASKA STATE CONTRACT # N-
2016-VAR-0001.
