Specifications include, but are not limited to: The following are key implementation ideas for our Digital Transformation Roadmap (Smart City) Vision: Project-1 Datacenter CORE Update, Endpoint Protection Implementation of new Core switches (Cisco Nexus, Meraki, Fortinet, HP or comparable) to provide 10G backbone and core routing for network segmentation and security zones. With new Next Generation Cybersecurity Firewalls (Cisco, Palo Alto, Fortinet, SonicWall or comparable) providing latest technology to secure and protect the City’s network. Project-2 Wireless Implementation Solution Implementation of new wireless technology (Cisco, Meraki, HP or comparable) for centralized management, updated features and better coverage for all locations. Next generation technology with fast access, guest network access and centralized visibility of wireless network. Project-3 Datacenter Server/Storage Refresh & Business Continuity Implementation Implementation of a dual site, fully redundant virtualized (Nutanix, VMware, Hyper-V or comparable solution) hyper-converged infrastructure. New hyper-converged platform should simplify daily operations and administrative tasks by combining Compute, Server, Storage and Virtualization into a single managed appliance providing full application availability. This solution should leverage a Hypervisor to manage virtualized workloads. Datacenter Resiliency, Disaster Recover, and Business Continuity should be addressed as well through a vendor recommended software (Veeam backup and replication currently). Project-4 Security Implementation- Firewall updates, UmbrellaDNS, Security Endpoint and Critical Services Monitoring and Support Implementation of new Advanced next generation firewall and reliable endpoint protection for all users/ devices (Trend Micro currently), Dns protection, advanced malware protection for O365, all users and systems on network (Barracuda Web filter currently). Replace obsolete Cisco equipment, improve operational efficiency, improve cyber security posture and provide disaster recovery/ internet connectivity redundancy.
