SUMMARY
DESCRIPTION
A government authority in Lewisville, Texas, is seeking a vendor to provide a turnkey, fully operational network solution to replace its data center core, distribution, edge, and fabric network systems. The contract period will be one year.
The proposed network management and orchestration system must be an on-premise, dedicated physical hardware appliance manufactured, supplied, and fully supported by the network manufacturer. It must support a high-availability, multi-node clustering architecture running bare-metal on vendor-provided appliances. Virtual machine-based deployments, cloud-hosted management platforms, and software-only solutions requiring third-party compute are not permitted. The operating system and management stack must be factory preinstalled as an integrated appliance, without requiring the authority to license, install, patch, or maintain a separate host operating system or hypervisor. Vendors proposing complete Arista or Cisco systems must ensure their network management and orchestration solution meets all stated requirements.
