DEPT. IT CITY MGRa
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff recommends Council adopt Resolution No. do0 I- /I I, approving the membership of the City
of Carlsbad in Novell’s Master License Agreement with the State of California.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
In 1987, the City’s Information Technology department selected Novell’s Netware as the network
operating system (NOS) for the citywide PC network and we continue to use Netware for this
purpose today. As the use of our citywide network has increased over the years, we have added
Netware licenses and additional Novell products, including Groupwise for email, Border Manager for
our Internet firewall and Zenworks for desktop management.
Recently, the Information Technology department became aware of Novell’s Master License
Agreement (MLA) with the State of California. This multi-year agreement, July 1, 2000 to June 30,
2002, provides California governmental agencies access to volume savings for purchasing Novell
software, maintenance, technical support and many additional Novell services not available when
purchasing off-the-shelf product. This agreement is much like other cooperative agreements the City
utilizes to improve our purchasing power for both product and services.
To purchase under the Master License Agreement, membership into the program is required. While
membership itself has no contractual obligations, for continued participation it does require that
software maintenance is purchased and renewed annually for those products in use. This software
maintenance includes upgrades to new product releases and technical support. Thus, participating
in the MLA benefits the Information Technology department and the City in several ways. That is,
Information Technology is able to purchase Novell’s technology at the best possible price, receive
upgrades to the products now in use by the City and have direct access to Novell’s technical support
for issue resolution.
Staff has determined that participating in the MLA is the best method with which to both procure
Novell products and maintain our investment in existing Novell software.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This fiscal year the cost for purchasing new, and maintaining existing, Novell product licenses under
the MLA is approximately $51,000. Funds to cover these costs are included in Information
Technology’s 2000-2001 budgets. While the cost per license cannot increase during the term of
MLA, June 1, 2000 to July 1, 2002, our overall costs can change year to year based on the quantity
of licensed products in use by the City.
