Supply and Maintenance of On Premise ICT Storage Array Hardware

Tender description

GreenSquare Group currently have a number of storage arrays that form a vital part of the organisation's core infrastructure. This infrastructure is used for data storage and hosting virtual environments based on Microsoft, VMware and Citrix technologies, which are delivering critical services to the organisation. There is a requirement to refresh one of the current Dell EqualLogic storage arrays, which is currently approaching end of life. As part of the organisation's technology refresh the decision has been made to replace the hardware with an HPE Nimble CS3000 array (or a suitable alternative, as it has been decided that this solution best fits the business requirement). Professional start up services are also required to assist with the installation, build, and configuration of the SAN during its installation. Whichever solution is proposed must meet the following base requirements, however the HPE Nimble CS3000 is the preferred model.
