Virtual Machines, Host Servers and Backup Systems

The agency is seeking a vendor to supply, install, and configure enterprise-grade host servers. The project requires the deployment and configuration of a virtualization platform, such as VMware, Hyper-V, or an equivalent system. The selected vendor must create and manage virtual machines based on organizational requirements and implement centralized storage systems using SAN, NAS, or hyperconverged storage. The scope of work includes integrating the new solution with the existing network, security, and IT environment. The agency requires the design and implementation of a backup and disaster recovery solution, along with the configuration of high availability and failover mechanisms. The vendor must migrate existing workloads to the new environment, if applicable, and document the architecture, configuration, and operational procedures. The agency limits eligibility to onshore organizations based in the United States. The vendor must perform all work offsite at the vendor's own office location. The agency is looking for proposals to determine the budget, and access to the main request for proposals document requires an additional payment of ten dollars to the contracting authority.
