System Environments Clause Samples
System Environments. SGB and ACLS are to maintain respective development, testing and production server environments to support a reliable MyCLSS including subsequent defect fixes and enhancement. The ACLS and SGB will inform each other well in advance of any planned upgrades to software and hardware so as to assess impact and meet all MOU conditions. Reasonable notice of five business days is expected when a service is planned to be unavailable so that users may be informed. However, there might be situations for instance where urgent measures may be undertaken by one Party to palliate to security threats and the other Party will be informed as quickly as possible of any intention to bring a service offline for maintenance.
System Environments. As part of Maintenance Services, Contractor must maintain all System environments in the areas of System Software, including but not limited to, all equipment and Contractor’s networking components, as applicable, and connectivity. Contractor must repair, upgrade, replace or perform Preventive Maintenance Services to System environments during the Term of the Contract to comply with the Solution Requirements and the warranties specified in the Contract. Contractor’s Maintenance Services must include, at minimum, the following level of Services for System environments and server-related software. Contractor must:
a. Proactively monitor Central Server operations at Contractor-provided CJIS-compliant primary and secondary data centers, including all internal and external Interfaces, through automated monitoring tools, and report all Deficiencies to the LACRIS Help Desk.
b. Implement and maintain proactive monitoring of all storage components within the System environments to ensure sufficient capacity, performance, and reliability. This includes monitoring storage utilization trends, predicting future storage needs, and identifying potential issues before they impact System performance or data integrity. Contractor must report on storage status and any identified issues as part of regular maintenance reporting.
c. Engage in capacity planning for all critical System resources to ensure the Cloud environment can efficiently scale to meet the Solution's demands. This includes:
i. Analyzing usage patterns and performance data to forecast future resource requirements,
ii. Implementing resource scaling strategies to maintain optimal performance and cost efficiency,
iii. Coordinating with the County for any required infrastructure adjustments or expansions, and
iv. Ensuring that the Cloud infrastructure can automatically scale resources up or down within five minutes to meet varying loads, ensuring consistent performance under varying operational demands.
d. Provide technical support and System administration for all System environments. The County and Contractor must mutually agree upon Scheduled Downtime of all System environments, which may be during the weekends in the early morning hours.
e. Provide ABIS Solution backup (ABIS Application, Data and System configurations, etc.), as follows:
i. Continuous Data Protection (CDP) for the ABIS Production Environment, ensuring real-time backup of data changes and near-zero Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs),
ii. Daily in...
