Date: May 20, 2020
To: Michael G. Bartholomew, City Manager
From: Romeo Sora, Director Information Technology
Subject: Nimble Storage Solution Professional Services
Issue: For the City Council to approve the Burwood Group, Inc. to install and configure the Nimble
Storage solution. The 2020 budget has $35,000 approved for Nimble Storage professional services.
Analysis: In 2014 the City of Des Plaines partnered with the Burwood Group, Inc. to right-size and
upgrade its datacenter, infrastructure, and telecommunications. As part of the process, a centralized virtual
environment was established. A key component to the virtual environment is the City's Nimble CS220G
storage controller, and the 60TB attached storage array.
In 2018 Hewlett Packard Enterprise announced that it will no longer be supporting the Nimble CS220G
controller, and the official end of service life was 11/12/19. Understanding the important role the City's
storage device plays within the Information Technology environment, on 4/20/2020 the City Council
approved the purchase of a new supported and maintained Nimble Storage solution.
Over the years staff has utilized the professional services of the Burwood Group, Inc. for the City’s
advanced and highly specialized technical needs. Since the Burwood Group, Inc. was the City’s initial
Nimble Storage solution integrator, they have the necessary knowledge of our current Nimble Storage
solution, and are intimately familiar with the configuration of the City’s current datacenter, infrastructure,
and telecommunications environment. The Burwood Group, Inc. has consistently provided the City of Des
Plaines with quality service and support, and staff has been very satisfied with their performance. Staff is
asking that the bid procedures be waived.
Recommendation: I recommend the City Council waive bidding requirements and approve Burwood
Group Inc., 125 S. Wacker Dr., Suite 2950, Chicago, IL 60606 to install and configure the Nimble Storage
solution in the not to exceed amount of $23,000. The payment will be funded from the budgeted IT
Professional Services Account (100-20-230-0000-6000).
