Background Information:
At the present time, the City does not have monitoring tools for hardware/software and network to
proactively circumvent potential disasters. This tool will provide that capability. Argent Software will
enable IT to monitor the over three hundred (300) servers, databases, software applications and
network appliances. Key IT personnel can manage their applications and proactively make
adjustments to reduce downtime.
