Background/Summary: 

Network switches are computer networking devices that connects devices together on a computer network. These devices receive, process and forward data to their appropriate destination location (e.g: Internet, Servers, etc.)

 

On July 15, 2015 the City approved Resolution 89-15 adopting an Information Technology Strategic Master Plan (Master Plan). The Master Plan identified a network infrastructure where 76% of the network devices currently installed in the City are past their useful life. The Master Plan recommended the City outdate technologies running the City’s Network Infrastructure.

 

Some of those flaws are the obsolescence of network switching devices that cause:

·         Stifled network speed performance

·         Risk of specific locations network downtime due to malfunction of network switches due to age. 

 

 

Purchasing evaluated quotes on Juniper Network Devices and recommends purchasing the equipment from Hayes Communication who provided the lowest bid at $355,755.42 utilizing the State contract 973-561-10-1-IT.
