PURPOSE Water Authority of Fiji (WAF) is seeking proposals from organizations interested in upgrading / replacing WAF s current Server and Storage infrastructure located at its Data Centre in HQ to a virtualized server solution and to include business continuity and disaster recovery. 2. INTRODUCTION WAF wants to replace its existing systems with the latest industry leading, innovative, robust and cost effective technology, consolidating Servers and Storage by utilizing the Latest Blade Offerings with Storage Area Network and VMware that will cater for the need of WAF for the next 5 years. The Solution should enable WAF to benefit from a cost savings of purchasing less server hardware and should require less power and cooling with enhanced management, functionality and operational benefits associated with virtualization and storage area networks. 3. PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION Immediately upon receipt of Notice to Proceed, the Vendor shall develop and submit a critical path schedule. This schedule shall reflect the work authorized by Water Authority under the schemes described herein and this schedule must be approved by the company prior to the commencement of work. The mutually agreed upon critical path schedule will become an integral part of the contract and will be used to assess contract performance and measure progress. It may also be used to declare the Vendor in default of this contract. In the event a mutually agreeable schedule cannot be produced, this contract shall become null and void. 4. CURRENT INFRASTRUCTURE The current server infrastructure at WAF is tabulated below. The servers have direct attached storage that range in different size arrays. The proposed DR remote office will be linked to WAF HQ. Hardware for the DR will be the existing current servers that will be decommissioned from HQ. Vendors are to propose suitable and effective solutions for implementation of DR. Please refer to technical requirements for further description. 6
