DCS Service Provider Contracts
Multi-Vendor Model
The Data Center Services program provides data center infrastructure as a managed service to state agencies, institutions of higher education, local governments, and public school districts. Customers pay for the services used, rather than all the necessary hardware, software, staffing to operate and maintain their own IT infrastructure. Data Center Services are delivered through a multi-vendor model. This model partners a Multi-Sourcing Services Integrator (MSI) with multiple Service Component Providers (SCPs).

- Service level management
- Service desk support
- Program management
- Business continuity
- Disaster recovery testing and planning
- Financial management
Service Component Providers
