Enterprise Application Delivery and Network Infrastructure Systems

The Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority or a related government authority in Buffalo, New York is seeking professional services to support the migration and modernization of its enterprise application delivery and network infrastructure systems. The agency needs to transition from its existing hardware platforms to new generation physical and virtual environments. This project aims to solve the challenges of managing legacy systems by upgrading to modern, high-availability physical and virtualized application delivery and load balancing appliances. The scope of work covers project kickoff, planning, technical design sessions, and the deployment and configuration of physical and virtualized application delivery appliances in high-availability environments. The selected provider must configure network services, including Layer 2 and Layer 3 connectivity, authentication, logging, and system security. The project also requires building, configuring, and migrating multiple logical instances or tenants from legacy systems to new platforms, validating systems, upgrading centralized management systems, and executing planned service cutovers during maintenance windows. Post-implementation support, project coordination, and the delivery of documentation and operational knowledge transfer to university staff complete the required services. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based in the United States. The agency requires the performance of all work to be conducted offsite. The agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is looking for proposals to determine the cost of the project.
