PURPOSE:
Consists of purchasing from the competitively let SWC No. 99999-SPD-SPD0000219-0008 for upgrading the County’s network equipment from EX3300 to EX4400 at various County locations to improve its network security. Juniper EX switches and cables also need maintenance and support for new code updates, software patches, and other fixes and/or upgrades that are available. Failure to upgrade Juniper EX hardware means the County can no longer purchase maintenance and support for the hardware, which poses risks to the County’s network security infrastructure. MGT Impact Solutions, LLC, is the authorized participating dealer for these services.
