Appendix A Rev. 6-6-2024 .pdf

This is an appendix document supporting an Infoblox renewal contract opportunity for the State of California. The document establishes the technical and operational framework for the renewal of Infoblox services, a DNS, DHCP, and IP Address Management (DDI) platform utilized by the state. The appendix outlines the scope of services to be provided, including infrastructure management, security capabilities, and integration requirements necessary to maintain the state's current network operations. The renewal maintains continuity of service delivery while potentially incorporating updates to functionality and support levels. The document serves as a binding technical specification that vendors must comply with in their proposals, establishing baseline requirements for system performance, availability standards, and service level agreements that the incumbent or new vendor must meet throughout the contract term.

The appendix establishes pricing parameters based on the existing Infoblox licensing structure, including renewal fees for software licenses, maintenance and support services, and any hardware components required to sustain operations. As a renewal opportunity, the incumbent vendor (Infoblox) holds a competitive advantage given the existing system integration and operational dependencies within California's infrastructure. The document likely references specific funding allocations from the state's IT budget and establishes cost structures tied to the number of licenses, user seats, or managed devices within the system. Any modifications to the current environment, such as increased capacity requirements or enhanced security features, would be reflected in adjusted pricing terms within this appendix, ensuring the renewed contract reflects current operational needs and budget constraints for the State of California.
