Why now
Server hardware pricing has increased ~272%, with a $50k backup appliance budget receiving a $108k quote. IT is rethinking infrastructure strategy, including cloud vs. on-premise load distribution. County has its own in-house data centers but is questioning whether they can be maintained long-term.
