DESCRIPTION
A government authority in Newton, Massachusetts is seeking a vendor to implement a data center refresh for its production and disaster recovery environments. The scope includes delivery and deployment of infrastructure for virtualization, including production and disaster recovery SAN environments, Nutanix hypervisor software, and a minimum three-year hardware and software support term.
The production environment is expected to include server nodes for virtualization, approximately 2 TB of memory, dual-port 10/25GB NIC cards with 10GB SFPs, 125 TB or more of storage with expansion potential, and 64 total CPU cores. The disaster recovery environment is expected to include server nodes for virtualization, approximately 1.5 TB of memory, dual-port 10/25GB NIC cards with 10GB SFPs, 250 TB or more of storage with expansion potential, and 48 total CPU cores.
The selected vendor will provide deployment services to build and configure the new Nutanix production and disaster recovery clusters.

Additional responsibilities include reviewing the proposed Nutanix environment for security considerations, making recommendations aligned with industry best practices and agency standards, and serving as the primary coordinator for all Nutanix hardware, software, licensing, training, and professional services.
