Additional Information
Wrexham County Borough Council are looking to engage the market for a Technical Consultant(s) to provide technical support in the procurement of a new Storage Area Network (SAN) and Backup Technologies which will maybe run as two separate lots. As such we may require a technical consultant who specialises in SAN Technologies and one that specialises in Backup Technology, or someone who can provide technical support in both areas. The person(s) must have a proven track record of where they have conducted this type of technical support before and how the delivery of this support was undertaken/managed.
Please note that whoever is appointed to this role(s) will not be able to bid for the tender for this work.
WCBC’s environment is extensively VMWare Servers (340 VM’s) however there are standalone servers that will need to connect to the SAN.
The Technical Consultant(s) is to assist Wrexham County Borough Council with:
Design of both SAN and Backup solutions:
- Enterprise class solution
- Future proofing for five years investment
- Capacity saving tools
- SAN Fibre Fabric
- NVMe Hardware Integration
- Full flash capability and not SSD based disk for SAN Technologies.
- Sizing in terms of capacity and throughput of both solutions
- VTL/Disk/Cloud based backup repositories
Options for utilization of cloud technologies, especially around Backup.
Options for managed service for both solutions
Options for DR in the event we have to stand up VM’s in a cloud environment
Pit Falls to avoid and lessons learnt from past solutions and procurements.
Please can you provide detail of where you have done this before, what your skill set is and for which technology and send an overview to Rachel Glynn at the following email address:-
rachel.glynn@wrexham.gov.uk
Responses must be sent to Rachel by 12 noon on Wednesday 9th September 2020.
