Tender description

The Royal Hospital Chelsea is looking to upgrade/change the current virtual environment. The current virtual environment is hosted on a VMWare platform by 3 Host (cluster), hosting a total of 27 servers and two Non-federated SAN. Though we are happy with VMWare as a solution, constant changes on price for licenses and difficult access to support has made us want to look for alternative solutions, like Nutanix, that can provide scalability, easy management, great security, fault tolerance, good analytics across the environment. We are requesting from the supplier to provide the Royal Hospital Chelsea with a quote for VMWare, Nutanix and another alternative solution. For comparison, pros and cons. ## Contract award Title: Virtual Environment Infrastructure
