Description

Lee County Innovation & Technology seeks to execute a single-source procurement for Equinix Inc. to continue providing a Disaster Recovery colocation site at the NAP of the Americas data center in Miami. The facility houses the County’s technology network backup infrastructure, storage arrays, and supporting equipment in a hardened, disaster-resilient space with redundancy and structural protections against service interruptions. It meets Uptime Institute Tier 4 standards, offering high reliability and availability, and serves as a secure, geographically separate Tier IV datacenter to maintain critical county services and support business continuity during emergencies. The County does not anticipate transitioning to another vendor due to the sensitive and costly nature of transferring County data and equipment off-site.
