THE CITY OF NASHUA “The Gate City"
Information Technology Division
October 26, 2018
TO: MAYOR Donchess
FINANCE COMMITTEE
SUBJECT: Backup Solution
The Information Technology Division requires a new backup solution to replace the current system being
utilized. The existing solution has remained continuously problematic for the past year, resulting in numerous
hours spent troubleshooting with the vendor's technical support team. These same problems reoccur every few
months, still unresolved, and without a resolution from the vendor.
The new solution provides ease of use, incorporates the City’s existing Tape Library Infrastructure, utilizes the
City’s Storage Infrastructure, and provides a pathway for the City to take advantage of Cloud storage in the
future.
This purchase is being made pursuant to NRO Sec 5-84 (A) (10}, Special purchase procedures using Public Sector
pricing made available from Veeam.
The Information Technology Division recommends awarding the purchase to Axis Business Solutions in the
amount of $22,892. Funding is available in the General Fund, Computer Software Licensing, account 22.1.500 —
54400.
Respectfully,
Bruce Codagnone
