Supply and Installation of a Hybrid Cloud Solution
This is a large award for Office & Computing Equipment — above three-quarters of comparable contracts. Based on 8,857 valued Office & Computing Equipment tenders in our corpus.
The University of Leeds (UoL) is implementing a new Data Centre Strategy (DCS).
As part of this it intends to procure and implement a new, modern, converged compute and storage infrastructure that will be hosted across two new fully resilient data centres.
A new strategic approach is needed to provide efficient, effective, flexible, transparent, monitored and consumable compute and storage infrastructure services capable of hosting all UoL IT services.
A modern, fit-for-purpose infrastructure platform is required to support University objectives in a way that is sustainable for the future, supports University growth and delivers significant savings.
The current space and infrastructure that support IT at the University is fragmented across numerous locations that contain varying amounts of infrastructure, which we aim to replace with a consolidated, operationally-efficient converged platform that will demand considerably less power, and space at the same time as delivering significant operational and cost benefits.
In general, all applications and services - for teaching, research and corporate - will migrate into a new unified service delivery model.
The exceptions being some research servers attached to instrumentation.
The new "hybrid cloud" infrastructure platform and service delivery model will be delivered via two main data centers.
Approximately 500 servers and 2.4 PB of storage will be replaced with the main migration complete in 18-24 months from date of contract award.
Due to the volumes of data involved, we allow an extra 12 months to complete the migration of research data.
