(Tender No. HWT ) Item No. 1: Rack Mount High-end Computing Station Processor and Motherboard : 2 * Intel Xeon Processor E v3 (20M Cache, 2.40 GHz) or higher with supported chipset 5 Bays: 12 Hot Plug SAS hard disk bays (scalable upto 16) Representation of the interested Bidders / vendors Form no. T2 (TECHNICAL MINIMUM SPECIFICATIONS) Memory: 2*64 GB DDR MHz or higher Registered (RDIMM) memory upgradeable upto 256 GB or more (with additional DIMM slots free) Processors play vital role in high intensive graphics application hence we request you to consider E5-2650v3 CPU for better performance of servers. At present 64GB DIMM modules are not available with industry vendors hence we request you to amend it with minimum 256GB RAM using 16GB DIMM modules with 1866MHz or higher clock speed for better performance. More memory will increase overall performance. Suggested - 8 * 16 GB DDR Mhz RDIMM due to 1. Non availability of 64 GB Memory Modules 2. Optimise in terms of the techno commercially more suitable Memory modules 3. One would still have 16 slots empty for future expansion Amendment Suggested: With current available chipset it is recomanded to have 8* 16 GB DDR MHz or higher Registered (RDIMM/ LRDIMM) memory upgradeable upto 384 GB or more (with additional DIMM slots free) Please consider minimum 8 Hot Plug SAS Hard disk bays scalable up to 16 HDD Bays. 6 RAID controller: At least support for RAID 0,1,5,6 7 Networking: 2* 10 Gbe (onboard or add on) RAID Controller card with more Cache memory increases overall performance hence requrest you to consider RAID controller card to support 0,1,5,6 using 1GB flash memory Please consider as 2* 10G BaseT LAN PORT (on board/add On)
