Title

New SAN storage Further Competition

2.2

Description of the goods or services required

The National Library of Wales (LlGC/NLW) is looking to replace its SAN storage facility.

The proposed solution must be able to present a specified amount of storage to the Operating Systems. Failover operation needs to be triggered either manually or automatically.

Our current fibre channel infrastructure has been configured for multipath, with the tolerance of losing one half (one node) of the infrastructure. The proposed solution must be configured to function with this same level of resiliency.

*We require the Storage solution to come with 5 years support supplied by the vendor and officially supported by the manufacturer. Including full system installation and configuration.

*Only Genuine, brand new manufactured parts will be considered.

*The solution must be delivered by the 13th January 2017 to the NLW.

The procurement will be carried out as a further competition from the NPS Framework ICT_0019_15 Lot 6.Servers and Storage.

The NLW will be using the etenderwales.bravosolution.co.uk portal to run the further competition
