County Manager's Recommendation
The County Manager recommends that Council approve the adjustment to purchase order no. 91298 for AGR27-815 with Advanced Network Management for three-year renewal of HPE Cohesity Software, a backup and recovery solution, and hardware, and accompanying addendum, in the amount of $403,706.31 plus applicable Gross Receipts Tax, as requested.
Body
The County utilizes HPE Cohesity software and hardware for data backup, recovery, and data protection services, supporting the organization’s information management infrastructure and off-site Disaster Recovery site. HPE Cohesity software increases the County’s security posture.
Purchase Order No. 91298 (attachment E) was originally issued on July 24, 2026, in the not-to-exceed amount of $292,168.80, plus applicable gross receipts tax, to renew this service, and an addendum (attachment D) was executed, on July 22, 2026, to modify the HPE Cohesity Agreements’ (Saas Service Level Agreement, SaaS Terms of Service, Support and Maintenance Terms and Conditions, Scope of License Terms, End User License Agreement, and any other applicable agreement, as may be amended by HPE Cohesity) terms and conditions between the County and ANM. The purchase order has been amended to include the not-to-exceed amount of $403,706.31 plus gross receipts tax (attachment C).
Attachments A and B provide for updated licensing for Cohesity Data Protection Replication, not included in the original quote. Cohesity Data Protection Replication is the process of copying and storing data in multiple locations to improve data availability and accessibility across the network. Because the additional licensing expires on August 14, 2026, staff requests County Council approval to adjust Purchase Order No. 91298 and amend the addendum to reflect a new three-year renewal term for HPE Cohesity licensing, support, and maintenance services. This adjustment increases the total not-to-exceed compensation under the purchase order to $403,706.31 to cover the full three-year renewal period.
This purchase utilizes ANM's Contract with New Mexico Statewide Price Agreement, Contract #60-00000-25-00021AB as the procurement method (attachment F). HPE is a contracted vendor under ANM's New Mexico Statewide Price Agreement.
Alternatives
Alternatives would disable the County's ability to access data from multiple locations, including the disaster recovery site.
Fiscal and Staff Impact/Planned Item
Funds have been approved in the FY27 Information Management Operational budget.
