the Clerk of the Council to execute an agreement with Fluke Networks,
Inc. for support and service of the City's computer network test
equipment through January 5, 2006 in an amount not to exceed $17,400.
DISCUSSION
The City's computer network system consists of approximately 2,200
hardware devices and other network equipment including leased data
circuits, fiber optic cables, wireless laser optical links, and miles of
copper wiring. To ensure the effective and uninterrupted operation of
this complex technical environment, the City employs sophisticated
monitoring and troubleshooting equipment from Fluke Networks, Inc.
Fluke Networks, Inc. test equipment is utilized to monitor the City's
computer network system to quickly isolate and identify system
malfunctions. Use of the Fluke equipment has significantly reduced
downtime and has ensured high reliability and secure connectivity for
computer end-users. Approval of this proposed agreement will provide the
Information Services Division with 24 hour/seven day priority phone
support, upgrades to embedded software, calibration/performance
verification, and exchange or repair service.
