Background and Discussion:
The Dell PowerProtect solution provides comprehensive data protection for Microsoft 365, safeguarding essential emails, files, and other cloud-based services used and supported by the Harris County Office of Court Management. It's designed for hybrid environments, securing data across both on-premises computers and cloud services. This ensures business continuity and disaster recovery capabilities for systems critical to the operations of courts in Harris County.
Expected Impact:
The expected impact of purchasing this Dell PowerProtect solution is to enhance data protection and security for Harris County Office of Court Management's hybrid/cloud-based technology resources, ensuring business continuity and minimizing data loss risks across both on-premises systems and cloud services.
Alternative Options:
Microsoft 365 Backup, which lacks granular control and advanced features made possible by Dell PowerProtect, and third-party services that are similar in terms of features, but were not chosen due to our current reliance on a Dell systems architecture.
County Strategic Plan Goal: 1. Make Harris County safer and more just.
