WHEREAS, cities provide millions of Californians with essential services, including but not limited to public libraries, fire protection, law enforcement, emergency medical and disaster response, parks and recreation, childcare, community and human services, solid waste and recycling management, water and sewer services, utilities, land use planning, housing, economic development, transportation planning, street and road maintenance, and telecommunications; and
WHEREAS, cities remain transparent and accountable to the communities they serve and continue to earn the trust placed in them by local residents through responsive, accessible, and locally driven governance; and

SUBJECT:
APPROVAL OF THE DELL STORAGE SPACES DIRECT (S2D) CLUSTER PROJECT BACKGROUND:
The city’s current Storage Spaces Direct (S2D) cluster has exceeded its recommended lifespan and is increasingly risking operational issues and higher costs. Although we initially planned to extend this project into the next fiscal year, market conditions and rising technology expenses have prompted us to accelerate the purchase.
This project proposes a strategic refresh aligned with the City’s technology roadmap to ensure continued reliability, scalability, and performance.
Key Business Drivers
• Aging infrastructure increases the risk of failure and downtime • Rising maintenance and support costs
• Performance limitations impacting service delivery
• Alignment with long-term technology strategy
