City Council

CC 8. Approval of Nutanix annual licensing, maintenance, and support. Recommendation(s): Approve the annual licensing, maintenance and support for Nutanix Hyperconverged Infrastructure. The City of Lancaster utilizes Nutanix Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) for our server and data storage needs. Nutanix HCI is a combination of servers and storage built into a distributed infrastructure platform with intelligent software to create flexible building blocks that replace legacy infrastructure consisting of separate servers, storage networks, and storage arrays. This eliminates common pain points associated with legacy infrastructure and allows for greater flexibility in computing resources as well as exceptional efficiency. Nutanix HCI has been employed with the City since 2017 and City IT staff want to continue the relationship with Nutanix for the foreseeable future. The proposed support and licensing agreement provides the City with hardware and software support to ensure the City’s data center hardware and applications are available and operational with limited interruptions.
