Servers

Dublin Institute of Technology

Title attributed to the contract by the contracting authority: Supply, Commissioning and Maintenance of ICT Infrastructure. DIT Information Services host a number of enterprise and departmental applications, each of which has a database component which are hosted on servers which are approaching their end of life. DIT has developed a database infrastructure strategy which sets out to provide a production database infrastructure which is highly available, scalable and performant. DIT Information Services need to provide development and test database environments for many of its applications. Providing server hardware for these environments on an application by application is sub-optimal and difficult to provision and maintain. DIT Information Services wish to use server virtualisation technology to provide development and test environments for a number of applications. Over time, production environments may also utilise virtualisation opportunities. We seek a partner to assist us in building the environments which will support our application portfolio and its development over a 5 year period. We consider that this will be a key requirement demanding a professional and effective relationship with the successful tenderer. This RFT is for the supply, installation, support and maintenance of a database infrastructure (server hardware and associated kit) which will deliver this database infrastructure strategy.
