Tenders Are Invited For Computer Storage Units – Enterprise Storage System

Computer Storage Units – Enterprise Storage System. The Contribution Service Of Ard, Zdf And Deutschlandradio (Hereinafter Referred To As Contribution Service) Operates Two Hitachi Vsp 5600 Enterprise Storage Systems In The Mainframe Environment, Each With A Usable Capacity Of Approx. 180 Tib. The Systems Are Located In Two Data Centers (Rz) At The Cologne-Bocklemünd Location, Which Are Approximately 600M Apart. All Data Is Synchronously Replicated From The Primary To The Secondary Storage System. Virtual Tape Libraries (Fujitsu Cs8800) And Lto8 Drives In Quantum Scalar Tape Libraries Are Also Used For Data Backup And Recovery. In Order To Enable Emergency Operations To Continue Business Activities In A Timely Manner In The Event Of A Disaster (E.G. Failure Of The Data Centers At The Cologne Location Due To A Cyber Attack), The Contribution Service Intends To Set Up A So-Called Failsafe Data Center In Ismaning. The Underlying Overall Project Made The Assumption That The Z/Os Environment Is Not Directly Affected By A Cyber Attack. In This Respect, The Primary Goal For The Z/Os Environment Is That All Production-Relevant Data In The Above-Mentioned. Failsafe Data Center Must Be Available. In Order To Achieve This Goal, All Data Should Be Asynchronously Replicated To Another Hitachi Vsp System Using Multi-Protocol Switches (That Support Fcip) Via An Existing Wan Route (Ard Internal Fiber Optic Cable Network). The Implementation Should Be Carried Out By The Use Of The Hur Software; The Primary Vsp System At The Cologne Location Should Be Expanded Accordingly With Necessary Components (E.G. Additional Capacity For Journals). The Management Of The Replication Should In Turn Use The Hitachi Bcm Software In Order To Be Able To Manage Asynchronous Replication Regardless Of Location, Bcm Should Be Installed On Both A Z/Os System At The Cologne Site And On A Z/Os System At The Ismaning Site. The Objectives Of The Procurement Are - The Purchase Of A Hitachi Vsp 5600 System. Which Is To Be Operated In The Failsafe Rz (Location: Ismaning) Of The Contribution Service, - The Purchase Of Additional Storage Media And Sfps For The Two Hitachi Vsp Systems Used At The Cologne Data Center Location (Serial Numbers: 60027 And 60028), - The Purchase Of Four Multi-Protocol Switches That Are To Be Operated At Both Data Center Locations (Cologne, Ismaning), - The Commissioning Of A Service To Support The Contribution Service In The Implementation Of The New Systems As Well As In The Setting Up Asynchronous Replication, - Ordering An On-Site Training Course Lasting Several Days To Teach The Safe Use Of The Hitachi Vsp System, Including The Tools And Procedures Used, - The Conclusion Of A Maintenance Contract With A Term Of Five Years From Acceptance For All Hardware And Software Components Of The Hitachi Vsp 5600 System For The Ismaning Location As Well As The Four Multi-Protocol Switches, - The Conclusion Of A Maintenance Contract With A Term Until June 30, 2027 For Everyone Hardware Components, I.E
