LEAP
• LEAP is a web based platform that focuses on Patron Services and Circulation. LEAP can be
used on a traditional computer (desktop/]aptop) or a tablet, freeing users to connect with
patrons artywhere. LEAP does not require any installation of software on a user's device. Its
interface has been designed to be both intuitive and powerful, providing easy access to the
features users need most.
• LEAP was created to provide access to functionality in a modern, intuitive we application
that meets the expectations of today's users. LEAP uses the same underlying database and
business logic shared by all Polaris products, so there is no need to migrate any data. The
LEAP architecture provides a stable, modern application platform for delivering Patron
Services and Circulation functionality.
• LEAP provides a new view into the Polaris data and business logic. It is not a direct
replacement for the Polaris ILS® I.Jnlike the Polaris Staff Client, LEAP works as well on a
mobile device (tablet) as it does traditional computers, Since I...EA.P is accessed through a
we browser there is no need to update client software or connect using Terminal Services.
• LEAP is installed at the server level . meaning it will be available for use by the entire
library system or consortium. Since LEAP coexists with the Polaris ILS software and can be
used interchangeably, each library or user can decide whether or not LEAP is apPropriate for
a particular work.flow.
• LEAP is browser-based and will run under any modern browser that uses HTML 5
Availability
Provisional general,release date for LEAP is October 10, 2014

Virtual Private Cloud Environment
Virtual Private Cloud Data Security
Polaris Virtual Private Cloud services are currently delivered from a secure SSAE-16 certified Time
Warner Cable/Navisite data center located in Syracuse, Y. The data center is a Tier-2 facility
(ANSIMA-942 Telecommunications Infrastructure Standard for Data Centers) with an excellent
track record for reliability that provides backup power, and redundant HVAC and network services.
Internet service tote Data Center is provided via redundant ISPs utilizing diverse fiber connections
into the facility with dynamic re-routing of data if tietwork links are interrupted. The Data Center
environment includes:
• 7x24x365 on-site security personnel and video surveillance
• Biometric palm scanners at all facility entrances
• Card access control at all interior,and exterior door's
• Offices/common areas isolated from the data center
• AC power installed to order with N+I redundancy
• Backup UPS and generators with refueling capabilities for consistent power supply
• Full data-grade HVAC system with N+1 redundancy with 136 tons of cooling active
• Fire protection with early-warning VESDA fire detection system
• FM-200 and CO2 fire suppression system
• Regular systern testing and servicing
• Customer IT infrastructure monitored by two redundant NOCs (Andover and India), staffed
7x24x365
• Regular facilities monitoring for all critical electrical. components, environmental systems,
and security
For Virtual Private Cloud service, Polaris owns and operates the servers utilized to store data and
deliver service from the Data Center. Polaris employs network firewalls and anti-virus protection
for the service platform. To protect data during network transmission, communications between the
LIBRARY's Polaris client workstations and the V Data Center are encrypted via native Remote
Desktop encryption and SSL is used to encrypt the Patron Account section of the Polaris PowerPAC.
Third-party, hardware maintenance providers do not have access tote servers or backup devices
without Polaris advance approval and supervision.
Requirements:
- Reinote Desktop Connection (RDC) client version 6.1 or higher (RDP protocol/version 7 or
higher);
- Reliable network. connectivity with adequate bandwidth (estimated 20K,bps-30K.bps per
concurrent RDC user) and low end-to-end network latency between the workstation and
Windows Terminal Server;
USERNAME Convention and PASSWORD Complexity
Access to Virtual Private Cloud Polaris requires a two-stage logon. A user must first logon to the
Terminal Server and then must logon to the Polaris application. Usernames for Terminal. Server and
Polaris user accounts must consist of at least 8 characters. Polaris recommends that the usemames

include a user-friendly prefix that makes the username unique to the system or branch.,, For example,
a satisfactory username convention for Public Library System could be plsXXXXX (ie. p1scircl,
plscat07, etc.).
Passwords must be complex. At a minimum, passwords must consist of at least 8 characters
including at least one upper or lower case letter and at least one number or special character, and
cannot include the library name or usemame. Polaris strongly recommends that common words
should not be used as the password root. Passwords must be set to expire within a minimum of 180
days.
User Management
The LIBRARY,through.the Polaris System Administrator, will be responsible for performing Active
Directory and Polaris user management(add, change delete).
Dedicated Virtual Private Cloud Service
The Polaris Dedicated Virtual Private Cloud Service provides a fully managed application including
data center networking and firewall, management, Polaris server administration, anti-virus and
backup service. Only Polaris server administrators have direct login and administrative access t o t he
backend servers, software and databases supporting the Polaris systems and application.
Virtual Private Cloud Maintenance
Polaris reserves the right to perform periodic maintenance on the Virtual Private Cloud servers and
service platform. Scheduled weekly maintenance windows will occur every Monday and Thursday
between 2:OOAM ET and 4:OOAM ET. Windows Updates and other service platform updates that
may be applied sometimes require device reboots or restarts, and therefore, temporary service
outages may be experienced during these windows. Scheduled maintenance windows for server,
firewall and network replacement or repair will occur Thursday's between the hours of 4:00AM ET
and 7:OOAM ET.
Unscheduled emergency maintenance might need to be performed at any time. When emergency
maintenance is required, Polaris will notify the LIBI RY and work with the LIBRARY to
minimize any potential service interruptions,

Bandwidth Requirements
Each session over RDP will use about 30 Kbps (Kilobits per second). For a library with 400 staff
users, that library should expect the bandwidth to be about 1500 kilobits per second - which is
approximately 1.5 Megabits per second. The following chart shows the bandwidth for an existing
Virtual Private Cloud customer with the same number of available concurrent logins (400) and this
is total bandwidth (including PAC traffic). Note that the bandwidth is lower as a result of all 400
clients typically not logged in at the same time.

Remote Desktop Services (Terminal Services)
Remote Desktop Services works by allowing individual applications to run on a server, rather than on
the user's workstation. Remote Desktop Services simply sends screen images to the user's machine,
and the user's machine in turn sends keystrokes and mouse movements back to the server. By doing
this, Remote Desktop Services allows clients to run applications that they might otherwise not have
the hardware or bandwidth to support. The Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) has been designed and
optimized to give users a good application experience over low-bandwidth connections. Because only
keyboard, mouse and screen drawing information is sent over the network, a quality user experience
can be attained under very low-bandwidth conditions. The client access device can either be a full
rich Windows personal computer, or a thin client.

POLARIS
Schedule F.2
Failover/Disaster Recovery
Failover/Disaster Recovery
The failover SaaS hosting facility is located in Oakland, CA. The proposed failover solution would
use a VMWare industry standard software package called Site Recovery Manager (SRM). This
solution would continuously replicate the CITY's servers to a secondary datacenter location. The
servers for the CITY, primary and secondary, will be hosted in a VMWare virtualized hosting
environment within each data center providing local resiliency via network and storage redundancy,
in conjunction with geographic failover capability.
SRM allows for the replication of the CITY's primary servers to the secondary location with a 15
minute RPO (Recovery Point Objective) - meaning the recovery point would be as much as 15
minutes behind the time of the disaster. The solution is not a hot-standby solution and would require
action by Polaris technical staff to enable the secondary environment once the decision to fail to the
second site is declared. This is to ensure data consistency of the environment and that failovers only
occur during the time of a disaster.
Even though activation of the secondary environment requires action to bring it online, this is not a
cold start solution since the virtual space for the servers required is already allocated, the CITY's
data is synchronized to the most recent fifteen (15) minutes, and those servers not being actively
synchronized will be online. Once a disaster is declared a few configuration changes to the
environment are then required to make the secondary system the active and accessible node,
including a DNS change to point to the new IP address.
When the primary environment is returned to operation, SRM would facilitate the synchronization
back to the original location systematically. The return to operation at the primary location will
require a brief interruption of service and can be scheduled to minimize impact on the LIBRARY;
however, Internet delegation of DNS is required to fail back, thus there may be a delay in access of
the environment until this occurs.
The LIBRARY will have independent network and server environments (not a shared Active
Directory and/or SQL solution). With this environment, Polaris is able to provide a higher level of
redundancy, availability, and overall uptime to the LIBRARY.

DISCUSSION:
The Integrated Library System (ILS) manages major aspects of library operations, including the
online catalog, customer accounts, check-out and check-in, fines and overdue materials, holdings
information and management statistics. The current ILS is almost 10 years of (M&C C-20460,
December 21, 2004) and does not support many of the personalization and social networking
features today's library, customers expect or the productivity features required for efficient staff
operations. Interlocal Agreements allow Library to provide library system services to Benbrook,
Burleson, (Haltom City, Keller, Richland (dills and Watagua. Collectively the group is known as the
etrOPAC, This Agreement was first established in 1966 ( &C C-9463),.
The Fort Worth Library( ) released a Request for Proposals for a Next Generation Integrated
Library System and Related Systems and Services on December 23, 2013. Six vendors submitted
proposals. A team comprised of Library customers, MetrOPAC staff and Library and IT Solutions
staff conducted a thorough evaluation of each proposal, Based on their evaluation, the FWL
recommends entering into an Agreement with GIS Information Systems„ Inc, d/b/a d//a Polaris Library
Systems (Polaris).
The Polaris system offers the es value for the cost. Its mix of features and functions, its existing
services and Polaris' vision for development are best suited to the F L's needs. The Polaris system
ttp:// ®f0 rthgov.org/council_ a k t/ _r i w. ?Ifs=20005&council... 7/22/20
M&C Review Page 2 of 3
will improve customers' online experiences, allowing full self-service library card registration, reader
reviews, seamless e-resource integration, and easy creation and maintenance of community
organization files. By having Polaris host the system off site, the City avoids the costs of hardware
purchase and support and is assured that proper system maintenance, upgrades and disaster
recovery procedures are followed. The Polaris Agreement will allow the FWL to continue providing
automated library services for its client libraries, MetrOPAC.
Funding to acquire the new system is available from a Special Revenue Fund established by M&C G-
7311, November 3, 1987, to finance future upgrades to the FWL automated system without affecting
the General Fund. All revenue from buy-in and annual maintenance received from the client libraries
is deposited into this Special Revenue Fund.
M/WBE OFFICE -A waiver of the goal for MBE/SBE subcontracting requirements was requested by
the Purchasing Division and approved by the M/WBE Office, in accordance with the BDE Ordinance,
because the purchase of goods or services is from sources where subcontracting or supplier
opportunities are negligible.
AGREEMENT TERMS - This Agreement consists of an Implementation Phase, which begins upon
execution of the Agreement and continues until the City's acceptance date of the new system. The
Agreement will then have an initial term of five years starting on the acceptance
date. Implementation costs for the new ILS will not exceed the amount of$250,290.00 and includes
the first year of maintenance costs after the acceptance date. The maintenance costs for each of the
subsequent four years will not exceed the amount of$175,000.00 annually.
ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGE ORDER -An administrative change order or increase may be made by
the City Manager in the amount up to $50,000.00 and does not require specific City Council approval
as long as sufficient funds have been appropriated.
RENEWAL OPTIONS -After the initial term, the Agreement may be renewed for additional one-year
terms at the City's discretion. Rate increases associated with subsequent one-year renewals will be
no greater than four percent or the Consumer Price Index, whichever is less.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above
recommendations and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinances, funds will be available in
the current operating budget, as appropriated, in the Special Revenue Fund and the General Fund,
