We are looking for a service provider for the delivery of Intel x86-based server hardware for the virtualization platform based on VMware software, as well as on a small scale for dedicated hardware servers in the two georedundant data centers of the city of Winterthur. Clarifications: * Only Intel x86 based server hardware may be offered. * The hardware for the virtualization platform must be vSAN certified so that the existing licenses can be reused. * It must also be possible to offer SAP HANA certified server hardware. SAP HANA certified hardware is also based on a VMware virtualization platform. * Optionally, individual components (especially memory and disk storage expansion, but also CPU, network cards, power supplies) must be able to be supplied to existing systems. Also included in the scope of this tender are services related to the update of the hardware firmware and drivers as well as the virtualization platform and possibly other components. These services will be called up by the issuing body if necessary, without any guarantee of acceptance. Also included in the scope of services is the processing of maintenance and warranty services of the delivered hardware. Since some critical infrastructure components are involved, in addition to a «NBD» (Next Business Day) delivery, a parts replacement must also be covered within 4 hours during 7x24x365 days. For this purpose, the offering company must have a corresponding support organization and it must also be able to operate or access a corresponding delivery organization. Authorized technicians must be employed by the offering company in order to be able to replace critical parts on the server hardware at the tendering office on site if required. Hot-plug parts, such as harddisks or power supplies, are usually replaced by the issuing body. Therefore, the offering company must have appropriate delivery and, if necessary, return processes in place. It should be noted that companies that already work for the City of Winterthur or are in a supplier relationship are not considered to be pre-empted in the context of this call for tenders and that participation of these companies in this procedure is therefore possible without any restrictions.
