N.B see 1.4 for the exact number of vCenter licenses per site 1.2 Supply of VMware vSphere licenses: [(production site: 12 dual-processor servers); (backup site: 5 dual-processor host servers)] As the Praia backup site is dormant (not used by users, synchronised only with the production site), consider the possibility of using the same licenses as the production site, or have a non-paying or low-cost backup site license with full functionality. 1.3 Migration from VMware 6 to VMware 8 (vCenter: 1 instance and ESXi/VSphere: 6 host servers), reconfiguration of new VMware versions (Each ESXi a must have 2 subnets 10.10.130.0/24 and 10.10.230.0/24, VMs on the same ESXi can be on either subnet) N.B.: the licenses for the ESXi and VSphere to be migrated are included in the licenses requested in 1.1 and 1.2. The servers are already running with VMs and data, and the Company must take business continuity into account during the migration work. Location: Data Centre Lome (Togo) 1.4 VMware 8 installation and configuration (vCenter: 2nd instance, ESXi/VSphere: 6 host servers) (Each ESXi must have 2 subnets 10.10.130.0/24 and 10.10.230.0/24, VMs on the same ESXi can be on either subnet) The physical servers have already been installed. There is currently no hypervisor. The physical servers with their operating systems and applications need to be converted to VMs. These servers are in a different subnet from the subnet of the 1st instance already virtualized under VMware 6. Location: Lome Data centre (Togo) 1.5 VMware 8 installation and configuration (vCenter: 1 instance, ESXi/VSphere: 5 host servers) (Each ESXi must have 2 subnets 10.10.140.0/24 and 10.10.240.0/24, VMs on the same ESXi can be on either subnet) New replication installation of Lomé production site instances Location: Praia Data centre (Cabo-Verde) 2 Veeam Backup & Replication, Latest stable version - Licences and technical support Veeam (option1 : 1 year, option2 : 3 years) 2.1 Licenses for VM/data backup, remote replication between the 2 sites (Lomé and Praia), failover between the 2 sites Licenses must cover VM, data, physical server, tape, and disk backups. ------------------------------------------------------------- Page 6 of 16 Number of VMs: 50 for the production site and 50 for the backup site Licenses must support automatic replication and failover between 2 remote sites. As the backup site is dormant, licenses are not charged for this site (Veeam policy). 2.2 Installation of Veeam Backup & Replication, configuration of VMs, data, and physical servers on the 2 sites Location: Lomé Data centre (Togo) and Praia Data centre (Cabo -Verde) 2.3 Configuration of automatic replication of data, data bases, and virtual servers between the 2 remote sites by Veeam Backup & Replication, configuration of failover between the 2 sites Location: Lomé Data centre (Togo) and Praia Data centre (Cabo -Verde) 3 Hard disks for IBM Storwize V7000 storage systems 3.1 Supply of 24 x 2.4 TB 10K 12Gb SAS hard disks (FRU 01YM176) for 2 IBM Storwize V7000 arrays Each array has 24 slots (12 x 2.4TB disks and 2 x 600GB disks are already installed in each array) 10 additional disks on each array (4 disks to be kept as spare) 3.2 Installing and configuring disks, setting up pools, creating logical volumes, mapping logical volumes to servers (all servers must see all logical volumes in the 2 arrays), setting up synchronisation between new volumes in the 2 arrays, updating software in the 2 arrays. The IBM arrays are already running, and the logical disks are being used by physical and virtual servers. Location: Lomé Data Centre (Togo) 3.3 Verification and reconfiguration of server failover between the 2 arrays in the event of a problem on the main array Location: Lomé Data Centre (Togo) 4 Expansion of Dell PowerVault ME4012 storage arrays, DELL R440 and R740 servers 4.1 Supply of a Dell PowerVault ME4012 array extension with at least 24 slots (delivered with 12 disks of 2.4 TB each) The existing Dell PowerVault ME4012 storage array has just 12 slots, fully occupied by 12 1.2TB disks. ------------------------------------------------------------- Page 7 of 16 The Company needs to add an extension that can take up to 24 disks. This extension must be compatible with the array and come with 12 disks of 2.4TB each. The external extension must be connected to the array. The array must be able to see all disks (internal and external). 4.2 Supply and installation of 12 memory sticks, each with 16 GB, for DELL R740 servers. This must include all disks (internal and external). Part Number: XMA82GR7CJR8N-XN) 4 additional sticks to be installed on each DELL R740 server (3 in total) Location: Lomé data centre (Togo) and Praia data centre (Cabo Verde) 4.3 Supply and installation of 28 memory sticks of 16 GB each for DELL R440 servers Part Number: XMA82GR7CJR8N-XN) 4 additional memory sticks to be installed on each DELL R440 server (7 in total) Location: Lomé data centre (Togo) and Praia data centre (Cabo Verde) 4.4 Supply, installation, and configuration of one (1) DELL N2048 switch (21Gbps and 10GbE SFP+ ports all active) and accessories.
