High Level Description
FY2018 Council approved an upgrade to legacy storage systems
Required due to CJIS and PCI compliance requirements
Pure Storage All Flash Storage System – Gartner 2017 Magic Quadrant
Leader in solid-state arrays (4 years in a row)
Pure Storage Forever Flash Maintenance Program (ROI)
For FY2018 Council approved the upgrade to the storage environment due to end-of-life equipment status which is no longer permitted to maintain compliance under the Criminal Justice
Information Systems (CJIS) and Payment Card Industry (PCI) standards.
IT selected the Pure Storage all-flash storage system, a Gartner magic quadrant leader in solid-state arrays.
This
high-performance system also comes with a maintenance program that extends the life of the equipment so that end-of-life is never reached. Components are replaced or upgraded as needed
and are included in the maintenance cost which does not increase unless additions are purchased.
The ROI for this program is substantial when we consider a 3-4 year replacement cycle
with other platforms.
