About this file

Written by GovTribe AI ·

This document is a City Hardware/Software Requirements Compliance Form from the City of Charlotte, North Carolina, detailing comprehensive technology standards and preferred vendor specifications across multiple IT infrastructure domains. The form provides a detailed matrix of current and target technology architectures for various technology categories including telephony, networking, desktop computing, video management, data center infrastructure, server hardware, operating systems, storage, backup systems, database platforms, business intelligence tools, application servers, web technologies, desktop operating systems, geospatial platforms, email services, and security protocols.

The compliance form establishes specific technology standards and preferred vendors for each category, with notable requirements including Cisco networking hardware, Dell and HP server hardware, Windows and Red Hat operating systems, VMware virtualization, Microsoft Office 365, Tableau for business intelligence, and specific security protocols like SentinelOne endpoint security and SAML SSO authentication. The document indicates a preference for technologies that support multiple Active Directory domains, IPv6 compatibility, and enterprise-level encryption and authentication standards. While not directly related to the NPDES MS4 compliance software opportunity mentioned in the accompanying contract description, this document provides insight into the city's comprehensive technology ecosystem and stringent vendor requirements.
