AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING A ONE-YEAR AGREEMENT WITH SENTINEL TECHNOLOGIES INC, FOR BROADCOM VMWARE LICENSING, MAINTENANCE, AND SUPPORT FOR CWLP’S VIRTUAL SERVER ENVIRONMENT IN A TOTAL AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $96,136.96, FOR THE OFFICE OF PUBLIC UTILITIES FOR EMERGENCY PASSAGE.
Emergency passage is requested to ensure continuity of critical utility systems and avoid disruption to essential system administration, support, and maintenance functions. The VMWare licensing renewal is time-sensitive due to vendor-imposed renewal limitations and recent changes to Broadcom’s licensing structure following its acquisition of VMWare. Emergency passage is necessary to maintain uninterrupted support coverage for CWLP’s virtual server infrastructure used by CWLP Dallman, Miller GIS, and SCADA. This ordinance authorizes a one-year agreement with Sentinel Technologies Inc. for Broadcom VMware licensing, maintenance, and support for CWLP’s Dallman, Miller GIS, and SCADA virtual server environment systems. The renewal covers the period of May 31, 2026, through May 30, 2027, for a total amount not to exceed $96,136.96. CWLP uses VMware host servers to support server virtualization, which allows multiple systems to operate efficiently on shared infrastructure. This improves resource utilization, reduces hardware needs, and supports cost-effective management of utility technology systems.
CWLP has used Sentinel Technologies Inc. for VMware support renewals for many years. Following Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware, Broadcom transitioned to a subscription-based licensing model and retired prior perpetual licensing options. These changes have increased renewal costs and added complexity to the renewal process.
