Background:
In 2010, the county executed an agreement with Visi Inc. to lease data center space at Visi’s Eden Prairie facility and receive managed services. In 2015, the agreement was assigned following Visi Inc.’s acquisition by OneNeck IT Solutions LLC. Since 2010, the county has contracted for cost-effective colocation cabinets, primary and redundant power with onsite generators, fiber cross connections, industry standard security controls, remote support and 24/7 staff access to the secure and controlled Eden Prairie facility. Colocation is a critical extension of Hennepin County’s data center; it is crucial for Hennepin County to have automated failover capabilities between this site and the Government Center data center to ensure the continuous, uninterrupted operation of mission-critical services. Additionally, OneNeck IT Solutions LLC provides the county with managed services including after-hours support desk services and monitoring of applications, servers, and the network.
Agreement A101667 was approved previously by the county board through Resolutions 10-0478, 15-0524 and 21-400. This technology request has been reviewed and approved by the office of the Hennepin County CIO.
