Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure - DTIRIS13/82-2

NSW Trade and Investment (DTI) is seeking a cloud IaaS platform to reduce the reliance on in-house infrastructure and provide a universal disaster recovery solution. DTI aims to reduce its reliance on managing its own infrastructure and take advantage of pay per hours of use that IaaS offerings provide. This will allow systems to be powered down or suspended when not required, reducing the cost of overhead of spare capacity. The solution is expected to include software tools to aid the migration of development and test systems to the platform, and the replication and synchronisation of systems for recovery in the event of a catastrophic failure of its data centres.

The IaaS platform will host test and development systems for DTI. This will allow systems to be suspended / powered off when not required, and provide rapid provisioning ability for new business initiatives. This will reduce the cost of providing these systems at the same time as improving the agility of DTI to investigate new solutions.

The other key deliverable DTI wants is a base level of Information and Communications Technology Disaster Recovery (ICT-DR) for all production systems. ICT-DR will re-establish technology services in the event of a catastrophic failure of one of the main sites housing ICT equipment.

An additional requirement is that IaaS platform must be changeable. DTI wants to re-evaluate the platform annually and be able to migrate to a new platform with minimal re-work and cost.

It is expected that this solution will include (but not be limited to):

• Professional Services to aid in the analysis, design, project delivery and implementation of the solution;

• An Infrastructure as a Service platform charged for on a monthly basis in increments of hours used;

• A software (or suite of) tool (s) to automate migrations to the IaaS platform and allow for the replication and synchronisation of systems for recovery;

• Disaster recovery planning support and guidance; and

• Training and handover documentation.

These tenders are listed alphabetically. Some tenders may be qualified or contain errors and in view of the information given in the criteria for tender evaluation, the list should not be relied upon as an indication of which tender may be successful.
